Time Narration
00:02 Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on how to create Simple Drawings in LibreOffice Draw.
00:08 In this tutorial, you will learn how to create simple drawings using:
00:13 Basic shapes such as lines, arrows and rectangles.
00:17 Basic geometric shapes, symbols, stars and banners.
00:22 You will also learn how to: Select, move and delete an object.
00:27 Use the ruler to set margins and the align toolbar to position objects.
00:33 Here, we are using:'Ubuntu Linux version 10.04 and LibreOffice Suite version 3.3.4.
00:42 Let us define the word Object.
00:44 The term “Object” denotes shapes or group of shapes used in Draw such as lines, squares, arrows, flowcharts and so on.
00:55 All the shapes shown in this slide are referred to as objects.
00:59 Let us open the file “WaterCycle” that we have saved on the Desktop.
01:04 We will first learn how to select an object.
01:08 Let’s say, we want to select the cloud. So, we will simply click on it.
01:13 On doing so, eight handles become visible.
01:16 Handles-Handles are the small blue or green squares that appear on the sides of the selected object.
01:22 You will learn more about the handles and their use in the later tutorials.
01:27 Let’s add some more objects to our drawing.
01:30 Let us add a rectangle to represent the ground.
01:34 In the Drawing toolbar, click on Basic shapes and then click on Rectangle.
01:39 Now, move the cursor to the page. You will see a plus sign with a capital 'I'.
01:45 Hold the left mouse button and drag it to draw a rectangle.
01:50 Now, release the mouse button.
01:52 Next, let us draw some arrows to show the movement of water vapour from the ground to the cloud.
02:00 To draw a line, click on Line in the Drawing toolbar.
02:04 Move the cursor to the page.
02:06 You will see a plus sign with a slanting dash.
02:10 Hold the left button of the mouse and drag from top to bottom.
02:15 You have drawn a straight line!
02:17 A line has two handles.
02:20 Now, let us add an arrowhead to the line.
02:23 We shall select the line now.
02:25 Right-click to view the context menu and click on Line.
02:30 You will see the “Line” dialog-box. Now, click on the Arrow styles tab and then click on the Arrow style drop-down.
02:39 This displays the available “Arrow styles”.
02:43 Select the first option named Arrow.
02:46 Click on OK.
02:48 This will add the selected style of arrowheads to both ends of the line.
02:52 But we need an arrowhead on only one end of the line.
02:57 So, first we will undo this change by pressing Ctrl+Z.
03:02 Right-click again to view the context-menu.
03:05 Now, click on the Line tab.
03:09 Here, under Arrow Styles, you will see the field named “Style”.
03:14 You see two drop-down boxes, one for each end of the line.
03:19 Click on the left drop-down box and select Arrow.
03:23 In the right drop-down box, select none.
03:26 Click on OK.
03:28 Note that an arrowhead has been added to the top end of the line.
03:33 We can also draw arrows using the “Lines and Arrows” option.
03:38 Let us draw two more arrows, next to this arrow.
03:42 From the Drawing toolbar >> click on Lines and Arrows and select Line Starts with Arrow.
03:48 Move the cursor to the Draw page.
03:51 Hold the left button of the mouse and drag from top to bottom.
03:56 It is easier to draw an arrow this way, is it not?
04:00 Let us add one more arrow in the same manner.
04:06 Pause this tutorial and do this assignment.
04:09 In your file “MyWaterCycle”, draw a line.
04:13 Select the line and open the Line dialog-box.
04:16 Under the Line Properties field, change style, color, width and transparency for lines.
04:24 Under the Arrow Styles field, change the arrow styles.
04:28 Next, let us draw a star.
04:31 Go to the Drawing toolbar and click on the small black triangle next to Stars.
04:37 Let us select 5 Point Star.
04:41 Now, place the cursor next to the cloud.
04:44 Hold the left button of the mouse and drag to the left.
04:48 You have drawn a star!
04:50 Now, let us learn how to move and delete objects.
04:54 To move an object, just select it and drag it to the desired location.
04:59 Now, release the mouse button.
05:02 You can also use the up, down and side arrow keys on the keyboard to move an object.
05:08 Moving objects is simple, isn't it?
05:11 To delete an object, just select it and then press the Delete key on the keyboard.
05:17 The object is deleted. Isn't it simple?
05:20 Now let us learn about the basic aids - the Ruler and the Align toolbar.
05:26 The Ruler is used to set up page margins and modify the units of measurement.
05:31 The Align toolbar is used to position objects.
05:35 The Ruler is displayed on the top and on the left side of the Draw workspace.
05:40 To set the measurement units, right-click the Ruler on the top.
05:45 You will see a list of measurement units.
05:48 Click on Centimeter.
05:50 The measurement unit for the top ruler is now set to centimeter.
05:55 Similarly, let us set the measurement for the ruler on the left.
06:00 To make sure that the objects are drawn to scale, always set the same units of measurements for both rulers.
06:08 You will notice that the active ruler is in the color- white.
06:12 The ends of the ruler represent the page margin values that we set in Page Setup.
06:19 Let us see how the Ruler displays measurements for objects.
06:23 Select the cloud.
06:25 Can you see two small start and end marks on the ruler?
06:29 These define the edges of the cloud.
06:32 If you move these marks on the ruler, you will notice that the figure changes accordingly.
06:38 The ruler shows the size of an object on the page.
06:42 It also enables us to position an object on the page and displays page boundaries.
06:49 Let us move on to the next basic aid - Align toolbar.
06:53 We use the Align toolbar to align the selected object to the left, right, top, bottom and centre.
07:01 To enable the Align toolbar, go to the Main Menu and click View.
07:07 Under the View menu, click Toolbars.
07:11 You will see the list of toolbars.
07:13 Click Align.
07:15 You will see the Align toolbar.
07:18 Let us now see, how an object is aligned when we use different Align options.
07:24 Let us select the cloud.
07:26 On the Align toolbar, click Left.
07:29 The cloud is aligned to the left.
07:32 Let us now understand the difference between the two options Centered and Centre.
07:38 We shall align the circle to Centre and then to Centered.
07:43 First, let us align the circle to the Right.
07:47 Let’s select the circle and on the Align toolbar, click Right.
07:52 Now, on the Align toolbar, click Centre.
07:56 The circle is aligned to the centre position.
07:59 The option Centre centres the object exactly between the top and bottom margins of the page.
08:06 It does not move the object with respect to the page-width.
08:10 Now, from the Align toolbar, let us select Centered.
08:15 The circle is aligned to the centre of the page.
08:18 The option Centered aligns the circle to the centre of the page.
08:23 It moves the object with respect to the top and bottom margins and the page-width.
08:33 Now, we shall move the objects back to their correct positions as per our sample drawing.
08:40 Remember to save the file before you close it.
08:43 Here is another assignment for you.
08:46 In MyWaterCycle file, add a page.
08:50 Create these two figures.
08:53 Move them using the arrow keys.
08:55 Select any object you have drawn and delete it.
08:59 Use the ruler to measure the size of some the objects.
09:04 Then use the Align toolbar and align the objects to the centre of the page.
09:11 This brings us to the end of this tutorial on LibreOffice Draw.
09:15 In this tutorial, you have learnt how to create simple drawings using:
09:19 Basic shapes such as lines, arrows, and rectangles.
09:24 Basic geometric shapes, symbols, stars and banners.
09:29 You learnt to select and delete an object
09:32 and use the ruler and the align toolbar to position objects.
