LibreOffice Draw is a free and open source vector graphics editor. One of the applications included in the office suite LibreOffice, developed by The Document Foundation.

In LibreOffice Draw, it is WYSIWYG that you can easily create complicated figures using shape tools, straight / curved tools, polygon tools, and so on.

LibreOffice Draw uses ODF which is an international standard as a standard file format.

  • Efficient creation of flowchart[5]
  • Drawing of dimension lines, measurement function of length. Adsorption function to guides and grid lines. Compression function by specifying image resolution and quality. Create documents with graphics and text mixed, flowchart or simple drawing

About the layer function

[edit]
  • Many graphic drawing software such as Microsoft Visio organizes and processes objects by a function called "layer", but this function is also installed as a simple layer function in Draw.
  • You can toggle display hiding, locking, and printing permission of layers by simple operation such as "Ctrl + click".
  • For example, if you lock an image into a layer and lock it, you can write from the top without moving the image.

Import and export function

[edit]
  • Import SVG
  • Import, edit, export PDF Load
  • Microsoft Visio file

Comparison with other software

[edit]

advantage

[edit]
  • It is easier to introduce than competing software "Microsoft Visio" "Microsoft Publisher" which costs purchase cost.
  • Because it is DTP software, it is much more efficient for DTP than Word and Excel (Excel grid paper).
  • Handling is smooth because the action is lighter than Word etc. Layer function is installed.
  • A guide and snap function for DTP is abundant.

Disadvantage

[edit]
  • It is not compatible with MS Office. (It is possible to convert from "pptx → odp → odg".)
  • Because there is a difference in operability with MS Office, it is necessary to master. Unlike
  • Word, pages of different sizes can not be mixed in the same file.
