Time | Narration |
00:00 | Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on Fill Objects with Color in LibreOffice Draw. |
00:06 | In this tutorial, you will learn how to: |
00:09 | Fill objects with color, gradients, hatching and bitmaps |
00:15 | Set page backgrounds |
00:17 | Create new colors. |
00:20 | Let us begin by opening the file WaterCycle. |
00:24 | You can fill objects with:* Colors* Gradients |
00:29 | Line patterns or hatching and * Pictures. |
00:33 | Here, we are using:Ubuntu Linux version 10.04 and LibreOffice Suite version 3.3.4. |
00:42 | Let us color the WaterCycle diagram. |
00:46 | Let’s begin by coloring the two clouds next to the sun. We shall fill them with white. |
00:54 | Select the cloud next to the sun. |
00:56 | Right-click to view the context menu and click Area. |
01:01 | The Area dialog-box is displayed. |
01:05 | Click the Area tab and under the Fill option, select Color. |
01:13 | Scroll down and click on White. |
01:16 | Click OK. |
01:19 | In the same way, we will colour the other cloud too. |
01:24 | Right-click under Area, Color and White. |
01:30 | Coloring each cloud will take a long time. |
01:33 | An easier way to do this is to group them. |
01:38 | Let’s color the other two clouds in gray as they are rain-bearing clouds. |
01:46 | First let’s group them. |
01:48 | Press the Shift key and click the first cloud and then click on the second. |
01:54 | Right-click for the context menu and click Group. |
01:58 | The clouds are now grouped. |
02:00 | Again, right-click for the context menu and click Area. |
02:07 | In the Area dialog-box, click the Area tab. Under the Fill option, select Color and scroll down and click on the colour Gray 70%. |
02:23 | Click OK. |
02:25 | Let’s color the triangle brown 3 in the same way. |
02:37 | Now, let’s color the rectangle in brown 4 in the same way, again. |
02:48 | Similarly, let's colour the sun yellow. |
02:58 | Next, let’s color the other triangle and curve that represents water with the colour turquoise 1. |
03:05 | As they require the same formatting, let’s group them if they are not already grouped. |
03:12 | To color them, let’s follow the same steps as in the previous ones - right-click, Area -> Area tab -> Fill -> color -> turquoise 1. |
03:27 | Observe that in the object water, the outlines of the triangle and the curve are displayed. |
03:35 | Let’s make these outlines invisible so that the picture looks better. |
03:41 | Select the object, right-click to view the context menu and click Line. |
03:48 | The Line dialog-box is displayed. |
03:52 | Click the Line tab . |
03:55 | In Line properties, click on the Style drop-down box and select Invisible. |
04:03 | Click OK. |
04:05 | The outline of water object becomes invisible. |
04:09 | Now, let us color the trees. |
04:14 | Let us select the left-most tree. |
04:16 | Right-click to view the context-menu and click on Enter Group. |
04:23 | Now, let’s edit the tree. |
04:26 | Select the leaves on the right. |
04:30 | Right-click for the context menu and click Area. |
04:36 | In the Area dialog-box, |
04:38 | click the Area tab. |
04:40 | Under Fill, select Color. |
04:44 | Scroll down and click on Green 5. |
04:47 | Click OK. |
04:49 | Let us do the same for the leaves on the left. |
04:57 | Let’s color the trunk of the tree next. |
05:05 | Select the Y-shaped arrow, right-click for the context menu and click Area. |
05:08 | Notice that all the previous selections are retained in the Area dialog-box. |
05:15 | So, let's select Color. |
05:18 | Scroll down and click on Brown 1. |
05:21 | Click OK. |
05:23 | We have colored the tree! |
05:26 | To exit the group, right-click and select Exit Group. |
05:31 | We can color the other trees in the same way. |
05:36 | We can also delete the other trees, copy-paste the colored tree and move it to the desired location. |
05:44 | It is much easier this way, isn’t it? |
05:49 | Now, let us add a shadow to the cloud next to the Sun. |
05:55 | Let’s click Select from the Drawing toolbar to select and then group them. |
06:03 | Select the white cloud group and right-click for the context menu and click Area. |
06:10 | In the Area dialog-box, click the Shadow tab. |
06:15 | In Properties, check the Use Shadow box. |
06:20 | The other fields now become active. |
06:24 | In Position, click the bottom-right corner option. |
06:29 | “Position” defines where the shadow will appear. |
06:33 | In the Color field, select Gray. |
06:36 | Click OK. |
06:39 | A shadow is displayed behind each white cloud. |
06:44 | Now, let’s make the clouds look more realistic. |
06:48 | Select the gray cloud group and right-click to view the context menu and select Area. |
06:55 | In the “Area” dialog-box, select Area tab. Under Fill, click Gradient. |
07:02 | Now select Gradient1. |
07:04 | Click OK. |
07:06 | The cloud now has a more realistic shade of gray! |
07:11 | Select a shape - say a cloud group. Right-click for the context menu and click Area. |
07:19 | The Area tab options are visible. |
07:23 | Under Fill, you will see the 4 options - |
07:27 | Color, Gradient, Hatching and Bitmap. |
07:32 | Notice that there is a corresponding tab in the dialog-box for each of these options. |
07:39 | These tabs allow us to create and save new styles. |
07:43 | Let’s click on the Colors tab. |
07:46 | Under Properties, let’s select Red 3 from the Color drop-down. |
07:53 | Then, select RGB and enter the values for 'R', 'G' and 'B' as shown. |
08:01 | R, G and B stand for the proportion of Red, Green and Blue in any color. |
08:08 | We will enter 200 for R, 100 for G and 50 for B. |
08:16 | Here we are changing the proportion of red, green and blue to change the color. |
08:22 | Look at the preview box, above the RGB field. |
08:28 | The first preview box displays the original color. |
08:31 | The second preview box, next to the Color field, shows the changes that we made. |
08:37 | Let’s type a name for this, in the Name field. |
08:41 | Let’s enter the name New red. |
08:44 | Click on the Add button. |
08:46 | The new color is added to the list. |
08:49 | Click OK. |
08:51 | We have created a new color! |
08:54 | Let’s undo this action by pressing Ctrl and Z. |
08:59 | The colour of the cloud reverts to white, again. |
09:03 | You can create your own gradients and hatching too, using the tabs in the Area dialog-box. |
09:10 | Gradients are shades that blend from one color to the other. |
09:14 | For example, the color shade moves from blue to green. |
09:18 | Hatching is a shading or texture in drawing that is created using fine parallel lines. |
09:24 | Now, let’s learn how to import a bitmap into Draw. |
09:28 | From the Main menu, select Format and click Area. |
09:33 | As seen earlier, the Area dialog-box opens. Click on the Bitmaps tab. |
09:39 | Now, click on the Import button. |
09:42 | The Import dialog-box appears. |
09:45 | Browse and select a bitmap. |
09:48 | Click on the Open button. |
09:50 | Draw prompts you to enter a name for the Bitmap. |
09:55 | Let’s enter the name NewBitmap. |
09:58 | Click OK. |
10:00 | The Bitmap now appears in the drop-down list. |
10:04 | Click OK to exit. |
10:07 | Observe the clouds now. |
10:10 | Let’s undo this by pressing Ctrl and Z keys. |
10:14 | Let us use bitmaps to fill the object “water”. |
10:19 | Now, let us make the water look more realistic. |
10:22 | To do this, select the grouped triangle and curve. |
10:26 | Right-click for the context menu and select Area. |
10:31 | In the Area dialog-box, click the Bitmaps tab. |
10:36 | Scroll down the list of bitmaps and select Water. |
10:41 | Click OK. |
10:43 | The water looks more realistic now! |
10:46 | Pause this tutorial and do this assignment. |
10:50 | Draw objects and fill them with color, gradients, hatching and bitmaps. |
10:57 | Use the Transparency tab and see its effects on the objects. |
11:02 | Let’s color the sky now. This is simple! |
11:06 | We just apply a background to the whole page. |
11:10 | Click the cursor on the page to ensure no objects are selected. |
11:15 | Right-click for the context menu. |
11:21 | Click Page and select Page setup. The Page setup dialog-box is displayed. |
11:25 | Click the Background tab and under Fill, select Color. |
11:30 | Let’s scroll down and select the color Blue 8. |
11:34 | Click OK. |
11:36 | Draw asks you if this background setting should be for all pages. |
11:41 | Click NO. |
11:44 | Now only the selected page has a background color. |
11:48 | You can also choose not to fill the object with any color. |
11:52 | Let us select the mountain. |
11:55 | Right-click for the context menu and select Area. |
11:59 | In the Area dialog-box, select the Area tab. |
12:04 | Under Fill, select None. |
12:06 | Click OK. |
12:08 | The object is not filled with any color and only the outline is seen against the background. |
12:15 | To undo the action, press Ctrl+Z keys. |
12:20 | You can also access all these options from the Format menu. |
12:25 | Remember to save your file by pressing Ctrl+S keys together, every time you make a change. |
12:34 | Alternately, set the Automatic Save option so that the changes are saved automatically. |
12:41 | Here is another assignment for you. |
12:43 | Color this picture you created. |
12:45 | Give a background to the page. |
12:47 | Create some new colors. |
12:50 | This brings us to the end of this tutorial on LibreOffice Draw. |
