 So hello everyone, I'm ready so far so everything Stefan said about the development process at said days is true I was I was there was really bad and the office was built once a week Yeah, you had to work on on the build office for one week without Incompatible changes was nightmare Okay So welcome to hidden gems in draw in press part two part two because Part one was held by me in in Brin or in Libre office conference There's a video You can check so I will not repeat part one. Maybe I will do Some parts from part one, but you don't need Part one to know now you you will maybe see some techniques I will be using which will if you are interested you can check the video and you will see how it works So the echo was very positive. So I decided to continue set and to do something again because Time was fleeting at the time and I had Much to less time to show as same as today. It's just 20 minutes. So there's no chance to get through it I will just do the most interesting stuff and try to do the second half of part one, which I was not able to show something like that so Thankfully some some community members did some wiki pages and interesting stuff. Thanks for that. I try to support and read it very good sets is popped up and I got a lot of feedback and requests after after the Bruno presentation and I hope more people are using the Mostly mostly underestimated draw application because to draw of course in an office package Which you download to do something special you don't think about using it as a draw program, but it's it's pretty pretty mighty you will see so Today just 20 minutes and I will sit down and use the mouse If I when I when I show you the stuff So I will try to to switch between the presentation and showing something if the screen goes off Just tell me I will I will try to fix it so Text and orange can be referred in original presentation. So I will I will try to go over it So just just a short review Basic knowledge of the graphic object stuff to want in first is the same module and Program, I'm not sure if you know it's just a question of configuration. So together with writer and Kalk and the other programs Using using the draw objects. You have a pretty decent chance that it's 100% compatible So the best way to work on graphics or geometry stuff for Kalk and writer and Impress is to copy it to draw and to copy it back and when you are done So this will work in most all cases. So I don't give guarantees, but as far as I know it works pretty good So there are a lot of advanced features which are quite hidden and often not very intuitive So that's the reason why I decided to just show what you can do so Let's let's start with something obvious that option selection and set order and stuff like that. You will you will know that oh Yeah, by the way, I Have added Where is it in Brino the guy said I would need a tool said said you can can watch so The keyboard actions I'm executing because you don't see that So exactly now, it's not really working. I'm using this Karnak tool. It's it's it's pretty nice very easy Yeah, there it is. So you will see on on the on the right lower side And you can you can follow later in the video which is recorded if you want to know exactly what what If you want to see exactly what key presses I was using stuff like that, so why does this not went away Go away Why does this not go away? Should go away Go away Doesn't go away. Okay you see first problems with this combination of Stuff Let's see. I have not tested this with a projector if it's working I want to get rid of this too. Oh, no Sorry Okay, I don't know how to how to how to get get rid of it. So you will have to live with it for the moment So the first the first thing is navigating between objects, you know, you know this with shift and Shift tap and tap no problem Oops object selection set order How to select covered objects very it's an interesting point Just imagine This objects would be really behind each other. So how do you select the object behind it? Many people ask us this in in bug reports or something. You can just use the Alternate key and if you press You can walk through objects which lie which lie behind each other. So This is really good to to get quickly through object selections If you if you don't want to navigate too much and with with shift combined you can go the backward direction You have to arrange toolbar should be should be pretty clear Just just the you the usual stuff to to arrange all the objects Not much to say about that, but you have curve tools and traveling and it's all keyboard is accessible Many people don't know that and using using the keyboard controls can give you a lot of extra control for example You can move with shift you can move faster with with control You always moves a few it always stays and with Alt key. You can move pixel wise and just pixel wise is interestingly it's Of course Dependent of your zoom so the deeper you zoom in the finer you can move very interesting if you have to do very exact stuff exact working stuff and You can even change the curve if you Yeah, yeah all the same Yeah, yeah, yeah, this is a full zoom also all the zoom commands have shortcuts on the keyboard You can just check in the program Yeah, yeah, you can look afterwards and you can you can check in the commands in the office. It's all documented So you can work pretty much everything with the keyboard So you see I use control tab I can start with escape again to start newly this top and shift up I can change with the curves and with control tab I can select the first point and just move the first point with the same commands with with With next next control tab I get I get to the next point and with escape I get back and When I go to a curve and press F8 to get to the curve mode I can do exactly the same I can Work with the curve. So no you now you say it's a curve. No problem I can select the point and you can travel over over the control point. So you have complete control With the keyboard and when you combine it with the alt key to move pixel wise you can really do extreme fine navigation stuff So just as a tip so Underestimated helpers color bar I am very very briefly for the color bar It's in few toolbars You you have the color bar down there It appears like something like that and you can change all colors of all objects anytime. So for example, I make I make the line a little bit wider you It gets the color you select and with the with the right mouse You can you can change the line color, which is very fast and intuitive and you can even drag and drop The colors over to objects. So if you need to create some objects very quickly for example you have an ellipse and You copy it by pressing Control and you want some different colors. You can you can it's the fastest way I know is just to drag and drop some in Something like that. So just to make your work easier Controlled movement I already told about the arrow keys and qualifiers and then we have grid helplines helplines while moving You know all that stuff I think but what's very interesting and Not very well known is the helpline stuff just imagine You go to this object And you you want to Huh? Slash slashes assuming the selected object optimal to the screen. It's just one of shortcuts So when when you want to align this object with one of the objects much lower in in the screen What you can do for example is you can drag out a helpline from from the from the rulers I don't know if you know about that because when when you go down Then you can align the objects easily and work with objects Which are not not in your view. So when when you are working a lot with zooming in zooming out This is very handy and zooming in zooming out. It should be one of your preferred actions and draw because it allows you to work in much more detail than when not using it and The menu point is not visible now because I don't get rid of this stupid bar But there's also a main point to switch on and off all the hate lines And you you can do as many of them as you wish and you you can change them of course and you can even Get an UI for them if you want to position them somewhere exactly so it's it's a very decent tool to to do Very exact work if you want Something like that if you want to get rid of it just put it back in the ruler. That's all so Multiple ways to multiply apply objects so often often to to generate some geometry You want to multiply objects. So One of the easiest ways is Just to use copy paste Your shift key Put it put it to the side Copy paste again Select all first copy paste shift key again Copy paste shift key again very easy so allows you to to to quickly do some geometry from from basic ground geometry stuff so this again you can use for example to Combine with other shapes to get get some interesting X or stuff or if you don't want to combine you you can you can use the other logic operations with which I will show in a moment so That's one possibility is the other possibility I Don't know if if you have ever used there's a duplicate dialogue. I will use the The fast access And you can you can just say said set your shape should be rotated and moved and something like that And if you do this with multiple shapes First horizontal and vertically You can pretty much do do the same faster if you want color changes and stuff like said very easy very fast If you need some geometry, of course, I'm doing nothing really planned. I have no no real target It's just to show you the tools which are available To make your work easier and you can of course do combinations of of the of the shown methods So sources of geometry is to work with this very interesting often often you you you don't know where do I get some graphics from? So the easiest way one of the easiest ways Is for example Just type some text Choose your font and Convert to curve and what you get is a is a group from from the fonts You can ungroup the stuff and you you can use Every single character as geometry to do stuff with it And this is of course not only true for for the normal fonts But also for the simple fonts and so it gets really interesting because all the simple fonts contain a lot of interesting stuff You can just use to work with to get your graphics What one of the sources The other source is of course the gallery and what's even possible Nowadays and works pretty well is track and drop from the web browser. So if you have a web browser just Go back and forth and drag your your stuff over it will be converted to Formats as good as possible. So vectors preferred of course about over pixel So everything tries to in the office tries to stay on vector format today. So that's a Anyways a huge progress from old days So objects sculpting I wanted to show what you can do when you just Need to to create something which is not in in the predefined stuff for example By the way double-click on the button Let's let's you do Repeated create options Yeah, create actions as long as the tool is active Something like that, but it's interesting part is I know not see a buff one As this tool showing the stuff makes it makes it very slow but I Will just merge this these two shapes and if you have your basic t-shirt you can use an ellipse Select all It's slow again subtract it and You can you can go even further with with Working with just sculpting use using the add and subtract functionality It's it's so mighty because if if you check what internally happens you can see said said the quality Stays on curve level as far as possible. So I don't know if any other Office office program is capable of doing that, but you can work with geometry Intuitively and on high quality level because it's it's not Converted to an array of points. It's it stays on curve level if you cut out curve stuff Stuff like that. So that's That's very useful and what you what you can even do We show a short example it's so slow with this with this With this tool in the background I'm sorry for this for the speed. I wanted to do it as fast as possible So you can do something like that use this shapes a Substruct to make you to make your stamp object or something whatever you need And you can you can send Apply your stamp wherever you want you get the idea. I'm sure. Oh What happened something like that is still on curve level everything on curve level you can of course combine this With with three form curve. So if you just want to subtract something from a shape which you have oh Already oh my god Two more minutes. Okay, let's do something else Very interesting point which which I think you should know It's the fifth style of objects. No, so for example here. I just have three normal normal circles Copy some ones here copy some ones there. So then the left I convert to a bitmap object and the right I Convert into a meta file. So now I Can use this object It's also very unknown you when you go to the dragon drop mode Use control and shift you can use any object you have on your screen to fill another object so Makes your work very easy and you can get rid of your your stamp object after you have used to fill but I what I want to show is When you when you use this You you have a huge difference of course Between the vector fill and and the meta file field So what you can do now in the office for quite some time is not to fill with bitmaps and The fill style which says bitmaps is changed to graphic because you can use any graphic You can fill your objects with SVG and with meta files and that way your your fill style will be Resolution independent and if you export it to PDF You will get a decent extreme well Quality so there's lot lot lot of stuff to show to go on But sorry Have to be next time so 20 minutes is definitely too short
