Introduction

This chapter describes how to manage graphic objects and in

particular how to rotate, distort, arrange, and position them on the

slide. Though this chapter focuses on the shapes that can be created

with the available tools in Impress, some of the techniques described

in this chapter are also applicable to images imported into slides.

The Drawing toolbar contains the majority of the tools normally used to

create graphic objects. If this toolbar is not showing, select View >

Toolbars > Drawing from the main menu bar.

The toolbar can be divided into two parts. The first part contains

drawing objects, as shown in Figure 67. The second part of the toolbar,

shown in Figure 69 on page 106, contains more generic tools.

The tools in the first part of the Drawing toolbar are:

• Select: selects objects. To select a group of objects, click on the

top left object and, drag the mouse to the bottom right object of

the intended selection while keeping the mouse button pressed. A

“marching ants” rectangle identifying the selection area is

displayed. It is also possible to select several objects by pressing

the Shift button while selecting the individual objects.

• Line: draws a straight line from the point where you click the

mouse, to the point where you drag the mouse pointer and

release the mouse button. Press the Shift key to restrict the angle

of the line to multiples of 30°; use the Control key to detach the

end point of the line from the grid (see “Snapping objects to grid

or snap guides“ on page 116).

• Arrow: draws a straight line ending with an arrowhead. The

arrowhead is placed where you release the mouse button. The

Shift and Control keys have the same effect as for the Line tool.
