Introduction to Draw
The Object Bar
The Object Bar gives you a preview, and lets you modify the major characteristics of the
drawing objects that you are handling. The icons displayed will vary as a function of the
object that is selected. Sometimes more than one object bar is applicable for the selected
object; in this case a triangle is displayed at the right end – click on this triangle to toggle
through each of the available object bars.
In the example above, the available functions enable you to change the color of the line
drawn, the fill color, etc., of the object currently selected. If the selected object is text, the
toolbar will have the following appearance:
The Main Toolbar
This toolbar is the most important in the Draw module. It contains all the necessary
functions to enable drawing of various geometric and freehand shapes and for their
organization on the page.
The toolbar is shown here horizontally, but by default it is placed vertically on the left-hand
side of the workspace. As for other toolbars in OpenOffice.org, the buttons having a small
rightward pointing arrow enable you to gain access to further functionality. For example, if
you click on the icon representing a rectangle, the following window appears:
It is therefore possible to choose the type of rectangle you want to draw (for example, straight
or rounded, filled or empty, and so on). What's more, if you choose another option from the
icon with the arrow, this new option will be displayed as the default for all following
operations carried out using this button.
