Time Narration
00:01 Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on Inserting Text in Drawings in LibreOffice Draw.
00:07 In this tutorial, we will learn how to:
00:10 Work with text in drawings
00:12 Format text in drawings and
00:15 Work with text boxes.
00:17 We will also learn to:
00:19 Set indents, space and align text
00:22 Add text to Lines and Arrows
00:26 Place text within Callouts.
00:29 Text can be added in two ways:
00:31 It can be directly inserted into a drawn object,
00:35 including on lines and arrows.
00:37 It can be inserted into a text box as an independent Draw object.
00:42 Here, we are using:
00:44 Ubuntu Linux version 10.04 and LibreOffice Suite version 3.3.4.
00:52 Let us open the Draw file “Water Cycle” and add some text to it.
00:57 We shall add the text “Cloud Formation” to the two white clouds, next to the sun.
01:04 Select the white cloud group.
01:06 Double-click on it in order to enter the group.
01:10 Let us select the top cloud.
01:13 Now, let’s select the Text tool from the Drawing toolbar.
01:17 Can you see the cursor has transformed into a small, vertical, blinking line?
01:23 This is the text cursor.
01:25 Let us type the text: “Cloud Formation”.
01:29 Now, click anywhere on the page.
01:33 Let us enter the same text for the other white cloud too.
01:37 To exit the group, double-click anywhere on the page.
01:42 Let us now name the sun in the same way.
01:45 Entering text in objects cannot get simpler than this!
01:50 Next, let us select the gray cloud group.
01:53 As before, double-click on it to enter the group.
01:57 Type “Rain Cloud” in each cloud.
02:02 As the text in the gray clouds is black in color, it is not visible.
02:07 So, let us change the color of the text to white.
02:11 Select the text and right-click for the context menu and select Character.
02:17 The “Character” dialog-box is displayed.
02:20 Click on the Font Effects tab.
02:23 In the Font color field, scroll down and select White.
02:28 Click OK.
02:30 The font color changes to white.
02:33 In the same manner, let’s change the text color of the second cloud.
02:38 Select the text and right-click, then select Character.
02:43 In Font color, choose “White”.
02:46 Double-click anywhere on the page to exit the group.
02:50 Similarly, let’s type the word “Mountain” in the triangle that depicts the mountain.
02:58 You can format text for Character, that is, change font styles and give special effects to fonts.
03:05 You can also format text for Paragraph, that is, align text, set indents or spacing and set tab positions.
03:13 You can access these dialog-boxes either
03:16 from the Context menu or
03:18 from the Main menu.
03:21 To access the Character dialog-box from the Main menu, select Format and select Character.
03:28 To access the Paragraph dialog-box from the Main menu, select Format and select Paragraph.
03:36 In the rectangle, let’s draw a thick black line to show where the ground water accumulates.
03:43 From the Drawing tool bar, select Line.
03:46 Move the cursor to the page, press the left mouse-button and drag from left to right.
03:54 Draw a horizontal line that will divide the rectangle into two equal halves.
04:01 The ground is divided into two!
04:04 Now, let’s make the line wider.
04:07 Select the line and right-click for the context menu.
04:11 Click on Line. The “Line” dialog-box appears.
04:16 In the Style field, click the drop-down box.
04:20 Select Ultrafine 2 dots 3 dashes.
04:24 In the Width field, enter the value point .70.
04:29 click OK.
04:31 We have widened the line!
04:34 Lets insert the text “Ground water table”, inside the rectangle.
04:39 First, let’s select the Text tool.
04:42 This is the capital “T” option on the Drawing toolbar.
04:46 Move to the Draw page.
04:49 Now, the cursor has been transformed into a Plus sign with a small capital 'I' beneath it.
04:55 Click inside the rectangle.
04:57 Observe that a text-box appears.
05:01 Here, let's type: “Ground water table”.
05:05 To align the text to the centre of the text-box, place the cursor inside the text box.
05:12 Click on Centered icon, in the Standard toolbar, at the top.
05:19 In a similar manner, let’s add the text:
05:22 “Rain water flows from land into rivers and sea”, in the triangle.
05:30 Pause this tutorial for the assignment.
05:33 Draw a square.
05:35 Insert the text: “This is a square.
05:38 A square has four equal sides and four equal angles. Each angle in a square is ninety degrees.
05:46 The square is a quadrilateral.
05:50 Format this text using the options in the Text dialog-box.
05:54 Apply the font size, style and alignment options to the text.
06:00 Now let’s arrange the arrows in the diagram.
06:03 These arrows show evaporation of water from land, vegetation and water bodies to the clouds.
06:12 Let’s select the left-most arrow.
06:14 Now, click and drag towards the mountain.
06:18 Let’s select the middle arrow.
06:21 Now, click and drag towards the trees.
06:25 The third arrow shows evaporation of water from water to the clouds.
06:31 Let’s use the option Curve to draw a line that shows water running down the mountains.
06:37 From the Drawing toolbar, click on Curve and select Freeform Line.
06:43 On the draw page, place the cursor next to the mountain.
06:47 Press the left mouse button and drag down.
06:51 You have drawn a curved line!
06:53 Now, let’s add descriptions to each of these arrows.
06:58 Select the first arrow to the right and simply type: “Evaporation from rivers and seas”.
07:06 Click anywhere on the page.
07:08 The text appears on the line.
07:12 Notice that the text is placed exactly on the line and hence it is not clear.
07:18 To move the text above the line, click on the line.
07:22 Text is placed horizontally.
07:25 Place the cursor at the end of the text and press the Enter key.
07:30 Click on the page.
07:32 The text gets aligned.
07:35 Text typed on lines and arrows can also be formatted using options from the context menu.
07:41 Let’s format the font size using the context menu.
07:45 Click on the text:
07:47 “Evaporation from rivers and seas”.
07:50 The text is now horizontal.
07:53 Let’s select the text and right-click to view the context menu.
07:58 Select Size and click 22.
08:02 The size of the font has changed.
08:05 Now, let’s type the following text for all the other arrows.
08:09 "Evaporation from soil"
08:12 "Evaporation from vegetation"
08:17 "Run off water from the mountains".
08:22 Let’s show rain falling from the grey clouds.
08:26 To show rain- let’s draw dotted arrows which point downwards from the cloud.
08:32 From the Drawing toolbar, select Line Ends with Arrow.
08:37 Then place the cursor on the first grey cloud to the left.
08:42 Press the left mouse button and drag it down.
08:46 Right-click for the context menu and click Line.
08:50 The “Line” dialog-box appears.
08:53 Click on the Style drop-down list and select
08:56 2 dots 1 dash.
08:58 Click OK.
09:00 We have drawn a dotted arrow.
09:02 Let’s copy and paste two more arrows for this cloud.
09:06 Now, let’s copy and paste two arrows to the other cloud.
09:12 Now, let’s add the text “Rain” to the dotted arrows.
09:21 Let’s type the text “Evaporation to form the clouds”, in a text box, just above the Water object.
09:28 From the Drawing toolbar, select the Text tool and draw a text-box as shown.
09:35 Type: “Evaporation to form the clouds” inside it.
09:41 From the Drawing toolbar, select the Text Tool
09:44 and draw a text-box next to the grey clouds.
09:48 Type: “Condensation to form rain” inside it.
09:53 Move the text-box by first clicking on the border of the text-box.
09:57 Now, drag and drop it in the desired location.
10:02 Following the previous steps, let’s give the title “WaterCycle Diagram”
10:07 using a text-box and format the text in Bold.
10:16 We have completed drawing the 'Water Cycle' diagram!
10:20 Now, let’s learn about Callouts.
10:22 What are Callouts?
10:24 They are special text-boxes that call your attention to or
10:29 point to an object or a location in the Draw page.
10:33 Most comic books, for example, have
10:36 text placed inside Callouts.
10:39 Let’s add a new page to the Draw file.
10:42 From Main menu, select Insert and click on Slide.
10:47 A new page is inserted.
10:50 To draw a Callout, go to the Drawing toolbar.
10:54 Click the small black triangle, next to the Callout icon.
10:59 Various Callouts are displayed.
11:01 Let’s click on Rectangular Callout.
11:04 Move the cursor to the page, press the left mouse button and drag.
11:10 You have drawn a Callout.
11:12 You can enter text inside the Callout ,just as you did for the other objects.
11:18 Double-click and type the text: “This is an example”, inside the Callout.
11:25 This brings us to the end of this tutorial on 'LibreOffice Draw'.
11:30 In this tutorial, you have learnt how to:
11:33 Work with text in drawings
11:35 Format text in drawings
11:38 Work with text boxes
