Managing 3D Objects and
Bitmaps
This chapter describes the tools and functions that let you let you create powerful 3D
drawings and work with bitmaps such as photographs.
Managing 3D Objects
Even though OpenOffice.org does not claim to rival leading 3D image software packages, it
contains a number of tools that let you create powerful 3D drawings.
Rotating 3D objects
The rotation function also works with 3D objects, but differently from flat objects. Rotation
acts in a three-dimensional space as shown in Figure 22.
For 3D objects, the axis of rotation is indicated by the symbol .
To do this Do this
Rotate the object about the x-axis. Move the left and right (edge) handles.
Rotate the object about the y-axis. Move the top and bottom (edge) handles.
Rotate the object about the z-axis (the axis
coming out of the page).
Move the corner handles.
Re-locate the axis of rotation. Move the symbol.
