00:01 | Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on Creating Curves and Polygons, in LibreOffice Draw. |
00:07 | In this tutorial you will learn how to work with Polygons and Curves in Draw. |
00:14 | For this tutorial, you should have basic knowledge of LibreOffice Draw.If not, for relevant tutorials please visit this website. |
00:25 | Here we are using Ubuntu Linux version 10.04 and LibreOffice Suite version 3.3.4. |
00:34 | What are Polygons? The term Poly means many.A many-sided figure is called a Polygon. |
00:43 | We will learn how to a draw a map as shown in this slide.This map shows the route from the house to the school. |
00:53 | At the end of this tutorial, you will be able to create a similar diagram by yourself. |
01:00 | Let us switch to Draw.I have named this file as RouteMap and saved it on the Desktop. |
01:09 | First of all, let us enable the Grid view.To do so, click on View, select Grid and choose Display Grid. |
01:19 | Before we begin drawing, let us set the Page margins and the Page orientation. |
01:26 | Place the cursor on the Draw page and right-click for the Context menu. |
01:33 | Select Page and click Page Setup. |
01:36 | The Page Setup dialog box appears. |
01:40 | Click on the Format drop-down and select A4. Select Orientation as Portrait. |
01:49 | The Left, Right, Top and Bottom margins are set to 1. Click OK. |
01:57 | Let us set the default font size to 24. |
02:02 | From the Main menu, select Format and Character. |
02:06 | The Character dialog box appears. |
02:10 | Click the Fonts tab and in the Size field, scroll down and select 24.Click OK. |
02:18 | This will ensure that the text we type inside the shapes are clearly visible. |
02:24 | Now let us begin by drawing the house. |
02:28 | Let’s insert a square to show the house and type Home inside it. |
02:37 | Next, let’s draw the park to the right of the house. |
02:42 | The park is an odd-shaped rectangle. The width on the left side is greater than the right side. |
02:51 | Let’s use a polygon to represent it.To draw a polygon, go to the Drawing toolbar. |
02:58 | Click on Curve and then click on the small black arrow next to the icon. |
03:04 | Now, select Polygon filled. |
03:08 | Place the cursor on the Draw page.Hold the left mouse button and drag the cursor down.Release the mouse button. |
03:18 | We have drawn a straight line.Drag the mouse to the right until the shape is that of a right triangle. |
03:26 | Click the left mouse button and drag the mouse upward. Now, double-click the left mouse button. |
03:35 | You have drawn a polygon.Let’s type Park inside it. |
03:41 | Next to the Park, there is a Commercial Complex.This too, is an odd-shaped polygon.Let’s draw it! |
03:50 | Go to the Drawing toolbar.Click on the small black arrow next to the Curve icon and click on Polygon filled. |
04:00 | Place the cursor on the Draw page.Hold the left mouse button and drag it down. |
04:07 | Now, release the mouse button.You see a straight line. Move the mouse to the left until the shape is that of a triangle. |
04:19 | Click the left mouse button and drag the mouse upward.Now hold down the Shift key and drag the cursor inwards. |
04:31 | Double-click the left mouse button. |
04:35 | You have drawn yet another polygon.Let us type the text Commercial Complex inside it. |
04:45 | Following the previous step lets draw a parking lot from the drawing toolbar let’s select Polygon filled. And then place the cursor on the draw page and draw the polygon. |
05:02 | Now let us type the text Parking Lot inside it. |
05:08 | Remember you can draw a polygon with as many sides as you want. |
05:14 | Pause this tutorial and try this assignment. Draw five-sided, six-sided and ten-sided polygons. |
05:23 | A Residential Complex is right next to the house and is rectangular in shape. |
05:30 | From the Drawing toolbar, select Rectangle. |
05:35 | Then place the mouse on the Draw page and drag to draw a rectangle. |
05:41 | We will name it Residential Complex. |
05:45 | There is also a Play Ground in this locality.This is in the shape of a really long rectangle. |
05:53 | From the Drawing toolbar, select Polygon 45 degree Filled. |
05:59 | Place the cursor on the Draw page.Click and drag the left mouse button down and release it. |
06:07 | Click and move the mouse to the right and release it.Now click and drag the mouse upward to complete the rectangle |
06:17 | Double-click the left mouse button. |
06:21 | You have drawn yet another polygon! |
06:25 | Let us type the text Play Ground inside it. |
06:30 | Now let’s draw the Lake next to the playground. |
06:35 | From the Drawing toolbar select Freeform Line filled. |
06:40 | In the Draw page, press the left mouse button and rotate the mouse in an anti-clockwise direction.Release the left mouse button. |
06:52 | We have drawn a lake.Let’s type Lake inside it. |
06:58 | The last building in this area is the School.' The School campus is also in the form of a polygon. |
07:07 | Let’s draw this on our map now. Again from the Drawing toolbar, let us select Polygon 45 degree filled. |
07:17 | Next, let us place the cursor on the Draw page and draw the polygon Finally, let’s double-click the mouse when the polygon has been completed. |
07:28 | Let’s type School Campus inside it. |
07:34 | Let’s insert a text box and type the text School Main Gates inside it. |
07:44 | Let’s rotate the text box and place it in the correct position. |
07:48 | Now, from the Main menu, select Modify and click Rotate. |
07:54 | Notice that the handles change to the color red.This implies that we are in the Rotate mode. |
08:02 | Can you see the small arc with arrows on either side? We use this to rotate the box. |
08:09 | Let’s place the cursor over the last handle on the top right corner of the Text box. |
08:17 | The Rotation curve appears. |
08:21 | Press the left mouse button.Drag the curve in a clock-wise direction, until it is placed in the correct position. |
08:30 | Now, click anywhere on the Draw page to exit the Rotate mode. |
08:36 | Let’s also show the Side Entrance to the school. |
08:41 | Like in the previous step, let’s draw a Text box, enter the text School Side Entrance inside it. |
08:50 | Now let’s draw directions using arrows. From the house we have to turn right. |
08:57 | From the Drawing toolbar, let’s select Line Ends with Arrow. |
09:02 | Let’s move to the Draw page and draw the line. |
09:08 | Then walk past the Residential Complex and take a left. |
09:14 | Let’s draw another line to show this route. |
09:19 | Then next to the Play Ground take the right, walk down. |
09:25 | Then take a right again to reach the School’s main gate. |
09:32 | We have drawn our first route.You would have noticed that two types of curves and polygons can be drawn. |
09:41 | One is using the Filled option and the other is without a fill. When you use the Filled option, the curve is filled with color. |
09:52 | You would have also noticed that each of the options in the Curve toolbar has a different method of mouse operation to draw the curve. |
10:02 | Here is an assignment for you.Draw curves and polygons using all the options in the Curve toolbar. |
10:10 | Notice how the shape of the cursor and the mouse operations changes with each selection of the curve or the polygon. |
10:20 | Check if you can change the fill color in the option Filled. |
