Introduction
You can add graphic and image files, including photos, drawings,
scanned images, and others, to OpenOffice.org documents. OOo can
import various vector (line drawing) and raster (bitmap) file formats.
The most commonly used graphic formats are GIF, JPG, PNG, and BMP.
See Appendix B for a full list of the graphic formats OOo can import.
Graphics in OOo are of three basic types:
• Image files, such as photos, drawings, and scanned images
• Diagrams created using OOo’s drawing tools
• Charts created using OOo’s Chart facility
This chapter covers images and diagrams.
More detailed descriptions on working with drawing tools can be found
in the Draw Guide and Impress Guide. Instructions on how to create
charts are given in the Calc Guide.
Adding images to a document
Images can be added to a document in several ways: by inserting an
image file, directly from a graphics program or a scanner, or from the
OOo Gallery.
Inserting an image file
When the image is in a file stored on the computer, you can insert it
into an OOo document using either of the following methods.
Drag and drop
1) Open a file browser window and locate the image you want to
insert.
2) Drag the image into the Writer document and drop it where you
want it to appear. A faint vertical line marks where the image will
be dropped.
This method embeds (saves a copy of) the image file in the Writer
document. To link the file instead of embedding it, hold down the
Control+Shift keys while dragging the image.
