Rated. / 5. Based on customer reviews
creating a flowchart, org chart, schematics or diagrams, it is highly
recommended to use connectors instead of simple lines.
Impress offers a wide variety of predefined connectors, which differ in
the termination shape (none, arrow, custom) and in the way the
connector is drawn (straight, line, curved).
When a connector is drawn or selected Impress displays red handles
which are not shown for normal lines; in particular, the termination
points are identified by red circles, while square handles are used to
modify the routing of a connector (where applicable).
Draw a connector in a similar way to drawing any object. First select
the connector style from the Connector toolbar, then move the mouse
cursor over one of the objects to be connected. When the cursor is over
the object, small black crosses appear around it; these represent the
glue points to which the connector can be attached. Click on the
required glue point to attach one end of the connector, then hold the
mouse button down and drag the connector to the second object. When
the cursor is over the glue point of the target object release the mouse
button.
For instructions on how to format a connector, refer to the
corresponding section in Chapter 6 (Formatting Graphic Objects).
Managing glue points
As described above, a glue point is the point of attachment for a
connector to a shape or graphic object. Each shape has a number of
predefined glue points, but it is possible to define new ones as well as
edit them, using the Gluepoints toolbar.
1 Insert point 4 Exit right 7 Horizontal left 10 Vertical left
2 Exit left 5 Exit bottom 8 Horizontal center 11 Vertical top
3 Exit top 6 Relative 9 Horizontal right 12 Vertical right
Figure 80: The Gluepoints toolbar
Use the first tool to insert a new glue point. The next four tools
determine the exit direction of the connector terminating at the glue
point. To maintain the relative position of the glue point when resizing
the object, make sure that the Glue point relative icon (highlighted in
