| Time | Narration |
| 00:02 | Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on Basics of Working with Objects in LibreOffice Draw. |
| 00:08 | In this tutorial, you will learn how to: |
| 00:11 | Cut, copy, paste objects |
| 00:14 | Re-size objects dynamically using handles |
| 00:17 | Arrange Objects |
| 00:19 | Group and ungroup objects |
| 00:21 | Edit individual objects in a group |
| 00:24 | Move objects within a group |
| 00:28 | Here we are using Ubuntu Linux version 10.04 and LibreOffice Suite version 3.3.4. |
| 00:37 | Let us open the “WaterCycle” file which we had saved on the Desktop. |
| 00:42 | Now, let’s copy and paste three more clouds to this picture. |
| 00:47 | First select the cloud, then right-click to view the context menu and click “Copy”. |
| 00:54 | Then, place the cursor on the page, right-click for the context menu again and click “Paste”. |
| 01:02 | But we can see only one cloud! |
| 01:05 | Where is the cloud that we copied and pasted? |
| 01:08 | The copied cloud has been pasted on the top of the original cloud! |
| 01:13 | Let us select the cloud and move it to the left. |
| 01:17 | Let us create one more cloud in the same manner. |
| 01:21 | Select the cloud, right-click for the context menu and click “Copy”. |
| 01:26 | Right-click again for the context menu and click “Paste”. |
| 01:30 | Now, select the copied cloud and move it to the left.
|
| 01:37 | We can also use short cut keys to make copies of objects.
|
| 01:41 | CTRL+C to copy an object |
| 01:44 | CTRL+V to paste an object |
| 01:47 | CTRL+X to cut an object |
| 01:50 | Select the cloud and press the CTRL and C keys together. |
| 01:55 | The cloud has been copied. |
| 01:57 | To paste, press CTRL and V keys together. |
| 02:02 | Now select the cloud and move it to the desired location. |
| 02:08 | Pause this tutorial and do this assignment. |
| 02:11 | Add two pages to your draw file. |
| 02:14 | Draw two objects on page one. |
| 02:18 | Copy an object from page one to page two. |
| 02:22 | Check where the copied object is placed. |
| 02:25 | Cut an object and paste it. You can use the short-cut keys for this purpose. |
| 02:31 | Check if a copy of the object is made when you cut it. |
| 02:36 | Let us reduce the size of this cloud. |
| 02:38 | So, first select it. |
| 02:40 | Now the handles are visible. |
| 02:43 | Next, place the cursor on one of the handles till arrowheads is visible. |
| 02:50 | Now, hold the left mouse button and drag the arrow inward to make the cloud smaller. |
| 02:57 | To enlarge it, drag the arrow outward. |
| 03:00 | To make this arrow longer, first select it. |
| 03:04 | Now move the cursor over one of the handles. |
| 03:07 | A small transparent arrow with a square beneath appears at the cursor tip. |
| 03:14 | Now, press the “Shift” key on the keyboard, hold the left mouse button and using the arrow’s handle, drag it down. |
| 03:25 | It is much easier to re-size the object if you press the Shift key also, isn’t it? |
| 03:32 | Resizing using the handles of an object is called “Dynamic Resizing”. |
| 03:38 | This means we do not use exact measurements. |
| 03:42 | We will learn to exactly re-size objects in later tutorials. |
| 03:47 | In a similar manner let’s increase the width of this rectangle. |
| 03:52 | Select the rectangle, press the Shift key on the keyboard and drag it upward. |
| 03:59 | Look at the “Status” bar, at the bottom of the Draw window. |
| 04:03 | Note that when we re-size the rectangle again, the dimensions change. |
| 04:09 | The “Status” bar shows the change in position and dimension of the object. |
| 04:16 | Now let’s arrange the clouds and the sun as shown here. |
| 04:20 | To identify the clouds, let’s number them 1, 2, 3, 4, starting from left to right. |
| 04:29 | To insert the numbers, let’s select this cloud, double-click and type 1. |
| 04:36 | Similarly number the other clouds too. |
| 04:44 | Now, let’s select cloud 4 and place it over the sun. |
| 04:49 | To send it behind the sun, right-click on the cloud for the context menu. |
| 04:55 | Click “Arrange” and select “Send Backward”. |
| 04:58 | Cloud 4 is now behind the sun. |
| 05:02 | “Send Backward” sends an object one layer behind the present one. |
| 05:07 | Now let’s select cloud 3 and place it above the sun. |
| 05:12 | Right-click for the context menu, click “Arrange” and select “Send to Back”. |
| 05:18 | Cloud 3 is now behind both the sun and cloud 4. |
| 05:23 | “Send to Back” sends an object to the last layer. |
| 05:28 | It now becomes simple to arrange the clouds as shown in the slide. |
| 05:32 | Let’s select cloud 4, right-click for context menu, click “Arrange” and select “Bring to Front”. |
| 05:40 | “Bring to Front” brings an object to the first layer. |
| 05:44 | Then select cloud 3, right-click for context menu, click “Arrange” and select “Bring Forward”. |
| 05:52 | “Bring Forward” brings an object one layer ahead. |
| 05:57 | Now, select cloud 2 and place it on cloud 1. |
| 06:01 | The clouds are arranged as shown in the slide. |
| 06:07 | Next let’s delete the numbers from the clouds. |
| 06:10 | To do so, select the cloud and double-click. Then select the number and press the Delete key on the keyboard. |
| 06:23 | Pause the tutorial here for this assignment. |
| 06:26 | Draw a circle a square and a star and place them as showm below.
|
| 06:32 | Select each object and apply each option from the arrange menu.
|
| 06:38 | Check how the placement of figures change for each option.
|
| 06:44 | Now place the object as shown on this slides and check bring "to front" and sent "to back" option. |
| 06:53 | Next, Let’s add trees, like the one shown in this slide, to the Water Cycle diagram. |
| 06:59 | We shall draw a tree using a block arrow and a explosion. |
| 07:05 | Let us add a new page to this Draw file by clicking on Insert and then on Slide. |
| 07:11 | This will add a new page to our file. |
| 07:15 | To draw the trunk of the tree, from the Drawing toolbar select “Block Arrows”. |
| 07:21 | Click on the small black triangle to see the available shapes and select “Split Arrow”. |
| 07:28 | Place the cursor on the page, hold the left mouse button and drag downwards and sideways. |
| 07:35 | You have drawn a tree trunk with two branches! |
| 07:39 | Let us add leaves to the branch. |
| 07:42 | Select Stars from the Drawing toolbar. |
| 07:45 | Then, click on the small black triangle and select “Explosion”. |
| 07:51 | Now, move to the draw page, place the cursor on the left branch of the arrow, hold the left mouse button and drag left to draw the shape. |
| 08:01 | So, we have added leaves to the tree! |
| 08:04 | We shall copy this shape to the right branch of the tree, also. |
| 08:09 | Select the shape. |
| 08:11 | On the keyboard, press the CTRL+C keys to copy. |
| 08:15 | Then press CTRL+V key to paste.
|
| 08:19 | Now move the shape to the right branch of the tree. |
| 08:22 | We have drawn a tree! |
| 08:25 | Let us select the tree and move it down. |
| 08:28 | Only the tree trunk moves down; the leaves don’t! |
| 08:32 | Here the “Tree trunk” and the two “Leaves” are treated as separate objects. |
| 08:38 | Let’s move the tree trunk back to where it was. |
| 08:41 | Let learn how to group the "tree trunk" and "two leaves"into a single unit. |
| 08:47 | Any change made to a group is applied to all the objects within the group. |
| 08:53 | First click on the page, so that none of the objects are selected. |
| 08:58 | Then, from the Drawing toolbar click "Select". |
| 09:02 | Move the cursor to the page and click on the page. |
| 09:05 | Now press the left mouse button and drag so that all the objects are selected. |
| 09:11 | You will see a dotted rectangle. |
| 09:14 | Ensure all the objects of the tree are selected within this rectangle. |
| 09:20 | Alternately, you can select two or more objects by pressing the Shift key and then clicking on each object. |
| 09:28 | Right-click for context menu and select “Group”. |
| 09:32 | Now click on any object in the tree. |
| 09:36 | The handles appear as if they are part of a single object. |
| 09:40 | These objects are now treated as a single unit. |
| 09:45 | To ungroup them as separate objects, select the tree, right-click and select “Ungroup”. |
| 09:52 | The objects are now ungrouped and are treated as three separate objects. |
| 09:56 | Let’s group them again. |
| 09:58 | Press the Shift key and slect the object one after another. |
| 10:03 | Right click and select 'group". |
| 10:06 | Let's copy the tree to page one which is our main drawing page. |
| 10:10 | So Ctrl and "C'to copy click on page one and Ctrl and 'V' to "paste". |
| 10:17 | Now, suppose we want to edit a single object within a group. What do we do? |
| 10:23 | Let me demonstrate a simple way to do this without having to ungroup and regroup the objects. |
| 10:30 | Select the group and right-click for the context menu. |
| 10:33 | Select “Enter Group”. |
| 10:35 | Notice that all the objects outside the group are disabled. |
| 10:39 | Only the objects within the group can be edited. |
| 10:43 | For example let us select the leaves on the right-side of the tree and reduce the size. |
| 10:51 | Let press Ctrl + 'Z', to undo this and proceed further. |
| 10:56 | Now, we should reduce the size of the tree so that it fits in the Water Cycle drawing. |
| 11:02 | So we have to exit the “Edit” mode of the group. |
| 11:05 | To exit the group, place the cursor on the page, right-click and select “Exit group”. |
| 11:13 | We are now out of the “Edit” mode for the group. |
| 11:16 | Select the tree and move the cursor over the bottom-right handle. |
| 11:21 | The cursor turns into a re-sizing arrow. |
| 11:24 | Drag the arrow inwards. |
| 11:26 | And we have reduced the size of the whole tree! |
| 11:29 | Let's add three more trees to this picture. |
| 11:32 | Select the tree and ctrl and "C' to copy Ctrl and "V' three times to paste. |
| 11:39 | This will create three copies of the trees.
|
| 11:41 | Now we will move them to the desired location. |
| 11:45 | Repeat this step for all the trees. |
| 11:51 | Now remember, each tree is made up of three objects. |
| 11:55 | Each tree is also a group by itself. |
| 11:58 | We have created groups of objects. |
| 12:01 | Let us now add the water body to the drawing. |
| 12:04 | To give the effect of water, we shall add a triangle next to the rectangle and then add a curve. |
| 12:12 | To draw a triangle, select “Basic shapes” from the “Drawing” toolbar. |
| 12:18 | Click on the small black triangle and select “Right Triangle”. |
| 12:24 | Let us draw it and place it next to the rectangle. |
| 12:28 | Now let us draw a curve filled with color to show the movement of water. |
| 12:34 | From the “Drawing” toolbar, select “Curve”. Now, click on “Freeform Line, Filled”. |
| 12:42 | Then place the cursor on top of the triangle, hold the left mouse button and drag it down. |
| 12:49 | Let’s adjust the curve so that it looks like flowing water. |
| 12:56 | The triangle and the curve together create water, let’s group them as a single object. |
| 13:03 | From the Drawing toolbar, click Select. |
| 13:07 | Now move the cursor to the page, press the left mouse button and drag to cover the triangle and the curve. |
| 13:16 | Right-click and select Group. |
| 13:18 | We have now created the basic outline of the Water Cycle. |
| 13:23 | Here is another assignment for you. |
| 13:26 | Create this picture on your own. |
| 13:30 | This brings us to the end of this tutorial on Draw. |
| 13:33 | In this tutorial, you have learnt the basics of working with objects. You have learnt to: |
| 13:39 | Cut, copy, paste objects |
