| 00:01 | Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on Working with Objects in LibreOffice Draw. |
| 00:06 | In this tutorial we will learn how to: |
| 00:08 | *Position objects using Grids and Guide lines |
| 00:12 | *Use snap functions |
| 00:14 | *Customize lines and arrowheads |
| 00:18 | You will also learn how to: *Duplicate objects |
| 00:21 | *Re-size objects exactly |
| 00:24 | *Distribute objects |
| 00:25 | *Combine,merge, subtract and intersect objects |
| 00:30 | We are usingUbuntu Linux version 10.04 as our operating system and LibreOffice Suite version 3.3.4. |
| 00:40 | What are Grids? |
| 00:42 | *Grids aid to position objects |
| 00:45 | *accurately on the Draw page |
| 00:48 | Let us open the file RouteMap that was saved on the Desktop. |
| 00:53 | In the previous tutorials, we had briefly used grids. |
| 00:57 | Now let us learn about grids in detail. |
| 01:01 | From the Main menu, select View, and click on Grid. |
| 01:05 | Then click on Display Grid. |
| 01:08 | The Draw page is filled with a number of horizontal and vertical dotted lines.These form the grid. |
| 01:17 | These grids are for display purposes only. They will not be printed. |
| 01:22 | We can customize the size of the grids, that is, make them smaller or bigger, as required. |
| 01:30 | From the Main menu, select Tools and click Options. |
| 01:35 | You will see the Options dialog box. |
| 01:38 | Click LibreOffice Draw and select Grid. |
| 01:42 | Under Resolution enter the following values: |
| 01:46 | Horizontal – 7 cm |
| 01:49 | Vertical – 5 cm |
| 01:53 | Subdivision decides the number of spaces in a grid. |
| 01:57 | Let us enter Subdivision values. |
| 02:00 | Horizontal – 3 |
| 02:02 | Vertical – 4 |
| 02:05 | Let us leave the Synchronize axes option unchecked. |
| 02:09 | Click OK. |
| 02:11 | Look at the Draw page now. Look at the size of each box in the grid. |
| 02:17 | Let us count the spaces that we set in Subdivision. |
| 02:22 | Horizontally there are 1, 2, 3 spaces and vertically there are 1, 2, 3, 4 spaces. |
| 02:33 | Now let us learn about Guides. |
| 02:36 | What are Guides? |
| 02:38 | *Guides are helper lines or Extensions of the edges of the objects |
| 02:43 | *That are displayed when it is moved. |
| 02:47 | Let us enable the guidelines. |
| 02:50 | Go to the Main menu, select View and select the option Guides. |
| 02:55 | Now, click the option Display Guides. |
| 02:59 | From the Main menu, click Tools and Options. |
| 03:03 | The Options dialog box appears. |
| 03:06 | From the left panel, click on the small black triangle next to LibreOffice Draw.Click View. |
| 03:15 | From the right panel, select Guides when moving.This way you can see the guides when moving objects. |
| 03:23 | Click OK. |
| 03:27 | Now, let us move the park a little to the right. |
| 03:29 | When the park is moved, the extension lines of the edges of the object become visible.These are the Guidelines. |
| 03:39 | What are Snap Lines? |
| 03:41 | Snap Lines help us position two or more objects within an area that is defined. |
| 03:48 | Snap lines and Snap points are created by the user. |
| 03:53 | Snap lines run vertically and horizontally and appear as dashed lines. |
| 03:59 | You must enable the Snap Lines option before you create snap lines. |
| 04:05 | Go to the Draw page.Right-click for the context menu and select Snap Lines. |
| 04:12 | Now check all the three options: |
| 04:16 | Snap Lines Visible |
| 04:18 | Snap to Snap Lines |
| 04:20 | Snap Lines to Front |
| 04:22 | Snap lines that we create, will now be visible. |
| 04:26 | Let’s define an area, using Snap Lines, within which the objects in the map must fall (as shown in the slide). |
| 04:34 | Move the mouse cursor over the vertical ruler. |
| 04:38 | Press the left mouse button. |
| 04:41 | You will notice that the cursor is now shaped like a two-sided arrow. |
| 04:46 | Drag the mouse towards the Draw page. |
| 04:50 | You will see a dotted line. |
| 04:53 | Do not release the mouse button. |
| 04:55 | Holding the left mouse button, drag the dotted line to the page. |
| 05:01 | Now, release the mouse button. |
| 05:04 | Can you see the line? |
| 05:06 | This is the Snap Line. |
| 05:07 | To create the bottom most limit, simply drag the line to the bottom of the page. |
| 05:13 | Let’s create three more Snap Lines to define the area within which the map is enclosed. |
| 05:24 | We have created horizontal and vertical Snap Lines. |
| 05:29 | Now you can position the objects along these Snap Lines. |
| 05:34 | You can, of course, Create as many Snap Lines as you want. |
| 05:40 | The horizontal and vertical Snap Lines function like the X-and Y-axis on a graph. |
| 05:48 | Within these two axes, you can position objects exactly. |
| 05:54 | You can use Snap function along with the grid lines to position objects accurately. |
| 05:59 | You can also *Snap to Grid - position an object exactly on grid points |
| 06:06 | Snap to Snap lines - position an object exactly on a snap line |
| 06:11 | Snap to Page margin - position an object exactly on the page margin |
| 06:18 | Pause this tutorial and do this assignment. |
| 06:21 | Explore all the Grid options. |
| 06:24 | Check what happens to objects when you snap to Grid, snap lines and page margins |
| 06:31 | Now let’s add one more lake, in the exact shape of this lake, next to the School Campus. |
| 06:38 | To do this let’s use the Duplicate option. |
| 06:43 | Let’s select the Lake. |
| 06:45 | Go to the Main menu, select Edit and click on Duplicate. |
| 06:51 | The Duplicate dialog box appears. |
| 06:54 | In Number of copies, enter the value 1 and click OK. |
| 06:59 | The Lake is duplicated. |
| 07:03 | Let’s drag the lake and place it near the school. |
| 07:06 | Objects can also be re-sized exactly to any measurement that is required. |
| 07:11 | Let’s use exact measurements and change the shape of the House as shown in this slide. |
| 07:18 | Let’s give it the same height and width and slant its corners and rotate it. |
| 07:24 | First, select Home, right-click for the context menu and select Position and Size. |
| 07:31 | The Position and Size dialog box appears. |
| 07:35 | Click the Position and Size tab. |
| 07:38 | Under Size, enter the value 3 in both the Width and Height fields. |
| 07:43 | Then click the Rotation tab. |
| 07:46 | In the Angle field, enter the value 10. |
| 07:50 | Finally, select the Slant Corner and Radius Tab. |
| 07:55 | In the Slant Angle field, enter 5 degrees. |
| 07:59 | Click OK. |
| 08:01 | We have re-designed the house! |
| 08:05 | Pause this tutorial and do this assignment. |
| 08:08 | #Draw various shapes, using the Drawing tool bar. |
| 08:11 | Check if you can apply Corner radius to all shapes. |
| 08:16 | Now let’s space the right edges of some objects evenly. |
| 08:21 | We will use the Distribution option to achieve this. |
| 08:26 | We must Select at least three objects to use the Distribution option. |
| 08:32 | First, select the Residential Complex, the Parking Lot and the Commercial Complex. |
| 08:39 | Let’s group them by dragging the Select arrow to cover all the objects. |
| 08:45 | Now, right-click and select Distribution. |
| 08:50 | Under Horizontal, select Right. Click OK. |
| 08:56 | The right edges of the object get distributed evenly. |
| 09:01 | The Distribution option does not distribute the objects horizontally or vertically |
| 09:07 | The Horizontal Distribution option distributes. |
| 09:10 | *The right and left edges |
| 09:12 | *The horizontal centers and |
| 09:14 | *The spacing of the objects |
| 09:17 | The Vertical Distribution option distributes |
| 09:21 | The top and bottom edges The vertical centers and The spacing of the objects |
| 09:26 | Now let’s create our own line style for this map. |
| 09:32 | From the Main menu select Format and click Line. |
| 09:35 | The Line dialog box appears. |
| 09:38 | Click on Line Styles tab. |
| 09:41 | In Line Styles, select the option Three dashes and three dots. |
| 09:47 | Leave the Type field as it is. |
| 09:50 | In Number let’s enter 10 and 5; Length as 8%. |
| 09:57 | Click Add.|Enter the name My Line Style.Click OK. |
| 10:06 | Again click OK. |
| 10:08 | Let’s select this arrow, right-click, and select Line.The Line dialog box appears. |
| 10:13 | Click the Line tab. |
| 10:16 | Click on the Style drop-down box. |
| 10:19 | It now displays the new style that was created. |
| 10:22 | Select it and click OK. |
| 10:26 | We have created a new line style! |
| 10:29 | Let’s draw a small stadium to the left of the School Campus. |
| 10:34 | From the Drawing toolbar, click Basic Shapes and select a Circle. |
| 10:40 | Let’s enter it in the Draw page. |
| 10:44 | The outline of the circle is of the style My Line Style. |
| 10:49 | Let’s type “Stadium” inside it. |
| 10:53 | Now, let’s learn to combine, merge, subtract and intersect objects. |
| 10:59 | What is the difference between Grouping and combining objects? |
| 11:03 | When objects are grouped, a number of objects are just put together. |
| 11:09 | When objects are combined, new object is created. |
| 11:13 | We will use three objects to demonstrate these options. |
| 11:18 | First, let us add a new page to the Draw file. |
| 11:23 | Let’s draw a circle From the Drawing toolbar, click Basic Shapes and select a Circle. |
| 11:32 | Move the mouse in the Draw page and drag it down. |
| 11:35 | Let’s draw a second object Diamond. |
| 11:38 | From the Drawing toolbar, click Basic Shapes and select a Diamond. |
| 11:43 | Move the cursor to the Draw page, drag it down.And from the menu bar select Area Style / Filling Drop down button and select color Red 3 |
| 11:55 | Draw a third object a Rectangle and color the object as Green 6 |
| 12:02 | Select the three objects by holding down the Shift key and clicking on each object. |
| 12:11 | Right click for the Context menu and click Combine. |
| 12:14 | A new object is created! |
| 12:18 | Notice that the new object takes the color of the object that is last and at the back. |
| 12:24 | Let us undo this action by pressing the CTRL+Z keys together. |
| 12:29 | Select the figures again and right-click for the context menu. |
| 12:35 | Select Shapes and click Merge. |
| 12:38 | Another new shape is created! |
| 12:41 | Remember the more you experiment with these functions, the more you will learn. |
| 12:48 | This brings us to the end of the tutorial. |
| 12:51 | In this tutorial, you have learnt how to *Use Grids, Guides and snap lines to align objects accurately |
| 12:59 | You have also learnt to Duplicate, Resize and distribute objects |
| 13:06 | We also created new line styles and learnt how to form new objects using |
| 13:12 | *Combine*Merge*Subtract*Intersect. |
