Time	Narration
00:01	Welcome to the spoken tutorial on Import and Export Images in LibreOffice Draw.
00:06	In this tutorial, you will learn to import images into a Draw page and to save a Draw file into various file formats.
00:16	We can import and export both vector and bitmap or raster images in Draw.
00:23	Here, we are using:Ubuntu Linux version 10.04 and LibreOffice Suite version 3.3.4.
00:32	Let us open the file 'RouteMap'.
00:35	For the purpose of this tutorial, a 'JPEG' file of the 'WaterCycle' drawing has already been created and saved on the Desktop.
00:46	Let us import this image into our Draw file.
00:49	Let’s close this image.
00:52	First, select the page where you want to import the picture.
00:57	Let’s insert a new page and select it.
01:01	To import vector or bitmap images, click on the Insert tab and select Picture.
01:08	Then click From File.
01:10	The Insert picture dialog-box appears.
01:14	Let us now select 'Water Cycle.jpeg.'
01:17	If we click on Open, the image will be embedded physically into our Draw file.
01:24	If we check the Link box here, then the image will be linked by the path.
01:29	Let us click on Open.
01:32	A message appears saying that the image will only be stored as a link.
01:37	Click Keep Link.
01:40	The picture is inserted as a link in the Draw file.
01:44	Links can also be removed easily.
01:48	Go to the Main menu, select Edit and then click Link.
01:53	The Edit Links dialog-box appears.
01:57	This dialog-box lists all the links in the Draw file.
02:02	Click on the link for the picture 'WaterCycle'.
02:06	Click Break Link.
02:09	Draw will display a confirmation message. Click Yes.
02:14	The link is removed. Now, click on the Close button.
02:20	But, you will notice that the picture is still present in the file.
02:25	When you break a link, the picture is automatically embedded in the Draw file.
02:31	Let’s delete this picture now. Select the picture and press the Delete button.
02:39	Here is an assignment for you.
02:42	Create two Draw files.
02:44	Insert an image in one file and save it.
02:48	Embed an image in another file and save it.
02:52	Compare both the file sizes.
02:55	In the file in which you linked the image, change the size of the image.
03:00	Check if the change is reflected in the original file.
03:05	Next, let’s import the 'WaterCycle' diagram directly into this file as a Draw image.
03:13	From the Main menu, click Insert and select File.
03:18	The Insert File dialog-box opens.
03:21	From the list, select the Draw file "WaterCycle.odg".
03:28	Click Open.
03:30	The Insert slides/objects dialog-box appears.
03:34	Click on the plus sign next to the file path.
03:38	You will see a list of the slides.
03:41	Let us select slide one with the 'WaterCycle' diagram.
03:46	You can also insert the page or the object as a link.
03:51	To do this, simply click the Link check-box.
03:55	Click OK.
03:57	A confirmation dialog-box appears, asking if the objects should be fit to the new format.
04:05	Click Yes.
04:07	The slide is inserted into the file, in a new page.
04:12	Next, we shall learn to export images from Draw.
04:17	Exporting a file in 'Draw' means- to convert a 'Draw' file or a page of the Draw file or an object in a Draw file to a different file format.
04:29	For example, the 'Draw' file can be converted to a 'PDF', 'HTML', 'JPEG' or a bitmap file.
04:39	The file formats PDF, Flash and HTML always export the whole 'Draw' file.
04:47	Let’s minimize the 'RouteMap' file.
04:51	Do you wonder how we converted the 'Draw' 'WaterCycle' diagram to the 'JPEG' format?
04:58	Let me demonstrate how it was done.
05:01	Open the file 'WaterCycle.'
05:05	Then, from the Pages panel, select the page with the 'WaterCycle' diagram.
05:11	From the Main menu, click File and select Export.
05:16	The Export dialog-box appears.
05:18	Let us enter the name "WaterCycleDiagram" in Filename field.
05:24	From the Places panel, browse and select Desktop.
05:29	In the File type field, we will select the option JPEG. But you can save the 'Draw' file in any format you want.
05:38	Check the Selection check-box.
05:42	Click Save.,The JPEG Options dialog-box appears.
05:47	Let’s keep the default options that are selected in this dialog-box.
05:53	Click OK.
05:55	The Draw page with the 'WaterCycle' diagram is saved as a 'JPEG' on the Desktop.
06:02	Here, only one page from the 'Draw' file is converted to 'JPEG' file.
06:08	If you save in PDF, Flash or HTML formats then all the pages in the 'Draw' file will be exported.
06:18	We can also edit raster images in 'Draw'.
06:22	Raster images can be formatted using the Format menu.
06:26	You can also use the Picture toolbar to edit these pictures.
06:31	This brings us to the end of the tutorial on LibreOffice Draw.
06:37	In this tutorial, you have learnt to import and export images and to save Draw objects into various file formats.
06:47	Here is an assignment for you.
