Re-usable, editable graphics in OpenOffice.org    Tuesday, March 15 2005 @ 01:00 AM EST Contributed by: glosser The NewsForge brings us this tutorial on Open Office Draw. Have you ever wanted to brainstorm an intricate new system design using block diagrams on your Linux or Windows desktop? How about drawing an organizational chart, knowing full well that you will need to change it tomorrow? What you need is a program that makes it easy to create and edit line and shape objects. OpenOffice.org Draw might be just the ticket. Draw is a vector-based graphics editor that works with objects rather than pixels. Pixel-painting programs, like the GIMP, are fine for touching up red-eye in photos or blending several pictures together. They fall short when it comes to jobs where individual objects (such as boxes or lines) need to be moved or changed. For those jobs it's much easier to deal with objects than to try to move groups of pixels around the screen. You need the ability to grab an object and move it. That's exactly what OpenOffice.org Draw does. Full tutorial   [ Views: 1504 ]
