| 00.01 | Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on Inserting Text in Drawings in LibreOffice Draw. |
| 00.07 | In this tutorial, we will learn how to: |
| 00.10 | Work with text in drawings |
| 00.12 | Format text in drawings and |
| 00.15 | Work with text boxes |
| 00.17 | We will also learn to: |
| 00.19 | Set indents, space and align text |
| 00.22 | Add text to Lines and Arrows |
| 00.26 | Place text within Callouts. |
| 00.29 | Text can be added in two ways: |
| 00.31 | It can be directly inserted into a drawn object, |
| 00.35 | Including on lines and arrows. |
| 00.37 | It can be inserted into a text box as an independent Draw object. |
| 00.42 | Here we are using |
| 00.44 | Ubuntu Linux version 10.04 and LibreOffice Suite version 3.3.4. |
| 00.52 | Let us open the Draw file “Water Cycle” and add some text to it. |
| 00.57 | We shall add the text “Cloud Formation” to the two white clouds next to the sun. |
| 01.04 | Select the white cloud group. |
| 01.06 | Double-click on it in order to enter the group. |
| 01.10 | Let us select the top cloud. |
| 01.13 | Now let’s select the Text tool from the Drawing toolbar. |
| 01.17 | Can you see the cursor has transformed into a small vertical blinking line? |
| 01.23 | This is the text cursor. |
| 01.25 | Let us type the text “Cloud Formation”. |
| 01.29 | Now click anywhere on the page |
| 01.33 | Let us enter the same text for the other white cloud, too. |
| 01.37 | To exit the group, double-click anywhere on the page. |
| 01.42 | Let us now name the sun in the same way. |
| 01.45 | Entering text in objects cannot get simpler than this! |
| 01.50 | Next, let us select the gray cloud group. |
| 01.53 | As before, double-click on it to enter the group. |
| 01.57 | Type “Rain Cloud” in each cloud. |
| 02.02 | As the text in the gray clouds is black in color, it is not visible. |
| 02.07 | So let us change the color of the text to white. |
| 02.11 | Select the text and right-click for the context menu and select “Character”. |
| 02.17 | The “Character” dialog box is displayed. |
| 02.20 | Click on the “Font Effects” tab. |
| 02.23 | In “Font color” field, scroll down and select “White”. |
| 02.28 | Click OK. |
| 02.30 | The font color changes to white. |
| 02.33 | In the same manner, let’s change the text color of the second cloud. |
| 02.38 | Select the text and right-click then select “Character”. |
| 02.43 | In “Font color” choose “White”. |
| 02.46 | Double-click anywhere on the page to exit group. |
| 02.50 | Similarly, let’s type the word “Mountain” in the triangle that depicts the mountain. |
| 02.58 | You can format text for |
| 02.59 | Character, that is change font styles and give special effects to fonts. |
| 03.05 | You can also format text for Paragraph, that is align text, set indents or spacing and set tab positions. |
| 03.13 | You can access these dialog boxes either |
| 03.16 | from the Context menu or |
| 03.18 | from the Main menu. |
| 03.21 | To access the Character dialog box from the Main menu, select Format and select Character. |
| 03.28 | To access the Paragraph dialog box from the Main menu, select Format and select Paragraph. |
| 03.36 | In the rectangle, let’s draw a thick black line to show where the ground water accumulates. |
| 03.43 | From the Drawing tool bar, select “Line”. |
| 03.46 | Move the cursor to the page, press the left-mouse button and drag from left to right. |
| 03.54 | Draw a horizontal line that will divide the rectangle into two equal halves. |
| 04.01 | The ground is divided into two! |
| 04.04 | Now, let’s make the line wider. |
| 04.07 | Select the line and right-click for the context menu. |
| 04.11 | Click on “Line”. The “Line” dialog box appears. |
| 04.16 | In the “Style” field, click the drop down box. |
| 04.20 | Select “Ultrafine 2 dots 3 dashes”. |
| 04.24 | In the Width field, enter the value point .70. |
| 04.29 | click OK. |
| 04.31 | We have widened the line! |
| 04.34 | Lets insert the text “Ground water table” inside the rectangle. |
| 04.39 | First, let’s select the Text tool. |
| 04.42 | This is the capital “T” option on the Drawing toolbar. |
| 04.46 | Move to the draw page. |
| 04.49 | Now the cursor has been transformed into a Plus sign with a small capital I beneath it. |
| 04.55 | Click inside the rectangle. |
| 04.57 | Observe that a text box appears. |
| 05.01 | Here, let's type “Ground water table”. |
| 05.05 | To align the text to the centre of the text-box, place the cursor inside the text box. |
| 05.12 | Click on “Centered” icon in the Standard toolbar at the top. |
| 05.19 | In a similar manner, let’s add the text |
| 05.22 | “Rain water flows from land into rivers and sea” 'in the triangle. |
| 05.30 | Pause this tutorial for the assignment. |
| 05.33 | Draw a square. |
| 05.35 | Insert the text “This is a square. |
| 05.38 | A square has four equal sides and four equal angles. Each angle in a square is ninety degrees. |
| 05.46 | The square is a quadrilateral.” |
| 05.50 | Format this text using the options in the Text dialog box. |
| 05.54 | Apply the font, size, style and alignment options to the text. |
| 06.00 | Now let’s arrange the arrows in the diagram. |
| 06.03 | These arrows show evaporation of water from land, vegetation and water bodies to the clouds. |
| 06.12 | Let’s select the left-most arrow. |
| 06.14 | Now click and drag towards the mountain. |
| 06.18 | Let’s select the middle arrow. |
| 06.21 | Now click and drag towards the trees. |
| 06.25 | The third arrow shows evaporation of water from water to the clouds. |
| 06.31 | Let’s use the option Curve to draw a line that shows water running down the mountains. |
| 06.37 | From the Drawing toolbar click on “Curve” and select “Freeform Line”. |
| 06.43 | On the draw page place the cursor next to the Mountain. |
| 06.47 | Press the left mouse button and drag down. |
| 06.51 | You have drawn a curved line! |
| 06.53 | Now let’s add descriptions to each of these arrows. |
| 06.58 | Select the first arrow to the right and simply type “Evaporation from rivers and seas”. |
| 07.06 | Click anywhere on the page. |
| 07.08 | The text appears on the line. |
| 07.12 | Notice that the text is placed exactly on the line and hence it is not clear. |
| 07.18 | To move the text above the line, click on the line. |
| 07.22 | Text is placed horizontally. |
| 07.25 | Place the cursor at the end of the text and press the “Enter” key. |
| 07.30 | Click on the page. |
| 07.32 | The text gets aligned. |
| 07.35 | Text typed on lines and arrows can also be formatted using options from the context menu. |
| 07.41 | Let’s format the font size using the context menu. |
| 07.45 | Click on the text |
| 07.47 | “Evaporation from rivers and seas”. |
| 07.50 | The text is now horizontal. |
| 07.53 | Let’s select the text and right-click to view the context menu. |
| 07.58 | Select Size and click 22. |
| 08.02 | The size of the font has changed. |
| 08.05 | Now, let’s type the following text for all the other arrows. |
| 08.09 | Evaporation from soil |
| 08.12 | Evaporation from vegetation |
| 08.17 | Run off water from the mountains |
| 08.22 | Let’s show rain falling from the grey clouds. |
| 08.26 | To show rain, let’s draw dotted arrows, which point downward from the cloud. |
| 08.32 | From the Drawing toolbar, select “Line Ends with Arrow”. |
| 08.37 | Then place the cursor on the first grey cloud to the left. |
| 08.42 | Press the left mouse button and drag it down. |
| 08.46 | RIght-click for the context menu and click “Line”. |
| 08.50 | The “Line” dialog box appears. |
| 08.53 | Click on the “Style” drop-down list and select |
| 08.56 | 2 dots 1 dash'. |
| 08.58 | Click OK. |
| 09.00 | We have drawn a dotted arrow. |
| 09.02 | Let’s copy and paste two more arrows for this cloud. |
| 09.06 | Now let’s copy and paste two arrows to the other cloud. |
| 09.12 | Now let’s add the text “Rain” to the dotted arrows. |
| 09.21 | Let’s type the text “Evaporation to form the clouds” in a text box just above the Water object. |
| 09.28 | From the Drawing toolbar, select the Text tool and draw a text box as shown. |
| 09.35 | Type “Evaporation to form the clouds” inside it. |
| 09.41 | From the Drawing toolbar, select the " Text Tool". |

| 09.48 | Type “Condensation to form rain” inside it. |
| 09.53 | Move the text box by first clicking on the border of the text box. |
| 09.57 | Now drag and drop it in the desired location. |
| 10.02 | Following the previous steps, let’s give the Title “WaterCycle Diagram” |
| 10.07 | Using a text box and format the text in Bold.
|
| 10.16 | We have completed drawing the Water Cycle diagram! |
| 10.20 | Now, let’s learn about Callouts. |
| 10.22 | What are Callouts? |
| 10.24 | They are special text boxes that call your attention to or |
| 10.29 | point to an object or a location in the Draw page. |
| 10.33 | Most comic books, for example, have |
| 10.36 | text placed inside Callouts. |
| 10.39 | Let’s add a new page to the Draw file. |
| 10.42 | From Main menu, select Insert and click on Slide. |
| 10.47 | A new page is inserted. |
| 10.50 | To draw a Callout, go to the Drawing toolbar. |
| 10.54 | Click the small black triangle next to the Callout icon. |
| 10.59 | Various Callouts are displayed. |
| 11.01 | Let’s click on Rectangular Callout. |
| 11.04 | Move the cursor to the page, press the left-mouse button and drag. |
| 11.10 | You have drawn a Callout. |
| 11.12 | You can enter text inside the Callout just as you did for the other objects. |
