The actual number of pixels used is determined by the screen resolution set up by the
operating system and the Drawing scale factor set in Tools > Options >
OpenOffice.org Draw > General. This is a limitation of the current user interface;
it is possible to set other resolutions using macros.
Embedded raster graphics, or objects that have been converted to a bitmap or
Metafile (from the context menu Convert > To Bitmap / To Metafile) may
subsequently be saved as a picture; from the context menu choose Save as Picture.
This saves the picture without Draw-specific additions such as text elements, borders,
or shadows and without the possibility of setting any of the options available when
exporting.
Draw objects can easily be imported into Writer, Calc, or Impress documents. For
objects used often, this is most simply done by storing them in the Gallery or by using
the clipboard. As Writer and Calc do not possess the same range of tools available
within Draw, it makes sense to use Draw to produce a complex drawing and then to
copy it into the other OOo application. A link to single drawing objects is not possible,
but you can incorporate Draw documents in the other modules as linked OLE objects.
Tip
To avoid problems when scaling Draw objects containing text after
importing them into Writer, convert the object to a polygon before
storing it in the Gallery or copying it to the clipboard. See “Convert to a
polygon” on page 105.
