OpenOffice.org Draw is the tool of vectorial Dessin of the office automation Suite OpenOffice.org. It can be used to carry out certain tasks of the software Microsoft Visio and Microsoft Publisher of the office automation continuation Microsoft Office. But it is closer to the software like Inkscape or CorelDraw.

the 3D

The objective of the module 3D is mainly the facility. The terms are not technical and the approach is ludic.

It makes it possible to include some elements 3D preset (Cubic, sphere, cone, pyramid, etc) or defined by the user since forms 2D. The forms 2D are transformed by right or conical extrusion (Tool: conversion 3D) and by revolution 3D (Tool: body of revolution 3D).

They are managed by a single tool Effets 3D which gives access to many adjustments far from being pain-killers. For example:

Geometry - one can modify the Arrondis edges , the cone of extrusion with Echelle of depth , the Angle swing for the objects generated by Révolution 3D, and the Height . The Segments make it possible to refine returned or to modify the appearance of the objects by reducing the facets. The normal give some adjustments for returned and one can rock in mode Isométrique/Perspective .

In short, for the other adjustments 3D available:

Representation - one reaches the mode of returned (Gouraud, Phong, Plat), with the shadow, the adjustments of camera.

Lighting - eight sources of light of the Spot type (in addition to environment) with an adjustment individual of the space position.

Textures - a management simplified in five adjustments per button ON/OFF of textures applied.

Material - the possibility of applying adjustments color/reflection to imitate the matters.

Other visual adjustments are possible with the tools of the bar of tools Ligne and filling .

Therefore, in spite of the objective of simplicity of the module 3D, we are far from the half-tone engraving 3D provided usually with the Continuations Office automation.

In short, the 3D with Draw is framed by two principles:

One can… create forms 3D and join together them in a common space (Grouping 3D).

One cannot… carry out Boolean operations on these forms 3D nor to act on only one of the facets. The sight is in prospect, but the actions are limited by the plan 2D (X, there) vis-a-vis the screen. The rotation of the object 3D is necessary to act on dimension Z.

Other functions

It has interesting functions such as an automated option of the stripes.

It also has the basic functions to make diagrams.

The files carried out under OOo Draw can be exported with the formats pdf and flash as a native.
