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.'
00:17 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.
05:43 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.
06:50 Individual objects or a group of selected objects can also be exported.
06:56 Convert only the clouds and the mountain from the 'WaterCycle' Draw file into 'JPEG' format.
