Introduction

This chapter describes how to create your own graphics using the

drawing tools available in Impress. It focuses on the most commonly

used tools and techniques.

Impress also contains a number of advanced drawing functions that

are rarely used when creating a presentation and are not fully

described in this book. To create more advanced graphic objects, the

reader is invited to use OpenOffice.org Draw and then to import the

graphic object created there into an Impress slide. See the

Draw Guide

for more details.
