Drawing an organization chart

Even though Draw does not have an organization chart toolbar, you can draw these

charts by drawing rectangles and connector lines (see Figure 199). You can indicate

hierarchies by using a color progression from dark to light tones. Your color choices

should maintain a good contrast between text color and background so that you can

easily read the printed diagram.

Figure 199: Example of an Organization Chart

Before you begin, prepare a setup page or draft, with snap lines, to assist in drawing

the various hierarchies, responsibility paths, and typical boxes that you will use in

drawing the chart.

Figure 200: Draft with snap lines

Place and dimension the individual boxes according to the size of the overall chart.

The exact size (particularly width), position, and color will be fixed later. It is

sometimes easier to draw only one box per level; later you can copy and paste this

box and then move the copies to the desired positions. Using styles can also be

helpful; see the relevant section in Chapter 4 (Changing Object Attributes).

You can also select one or more boxes and use Edit > Duplicate to make copies (see

Figure 201). The spacing of the duplicated objects relative to the original can be

controlled using the placement fields for the X and Y axes. Note that positive values

for X and Y are to the right and downwards from the original object.
