Re: Add new basic shape in AOO
Hi Thank you, Ariel and Regina, by the fast reply, but I not ask about the stencils in self, but about basic shapes that exist in the draw bar, like star, cloud, diagram pictures, etc. I believe that they are described in some XML inside the installation directory, but haven't idea where to find it. I found the descritor of buttons, like the button that you can choice the smiles, in %INSTALLFOLDER/share/config/soffice.cfg/modules/sdraw/toolbar/symbolshapes.xml. It point to .uno:SymbolShapes.symbol, but where is this uno? PS: if possible, add me in CC. I'm not subscribed in this list. Regards, Claudio Anyway, today i have a problem in to draw a network flow, like in MS Visio, and I found some great stencils, already converted in image and packaged for AOO. This is the easy part. The hard part is some shapes that haven't in AOO, like a round square/rectangle with space to write some text as title (at top). Calligra Flow has a lot of stencils, and the are in ODG format, see http://lxr.kde.org/source/calligra/flow/stencils http://lxr.kde.org/source/calligra/flow/stencils You can create galleries from all of them.

The existing custom shapes are based on the description in OOXML standard and from there translated to the language of ODF custom shapes. There exists currently no UI to generate own custom shapes and add them to the toolbar. You have to write them in file format, open the document then and drag them to the Gallery. You will find a start for how to do it in https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Create_a_New_Custom_Shape_in_Source_in_File But that is only a start, custom shapes have a lot more properties. You can look at the section 10.6 in ODF1.2 specification part 1. http://docs.oasis-open.org/office/v1.2/os/OpenDocument-v1.2-os-part1.html Have you ever written HTML or XML manually? Then writing a svg-graphic will work as workaround too.

Hi Thank you more one time, Regina. 2014-09-30 12:50 GMT-03:00 Regina Henschel rb.hensc...@t-online.de: I believe that they are described in some XML inside the installation directory, No, they are hard coded. Ok. Understood.

Add new basic shape in AOO
Hi First of all, congrats to all by your best work in AOO. I continue using and following the community, maintaining the pt-BR translation, but without many time to work in the project at all. Anyway, today i have a problem in to draw a network flow, like in MS Visio, and I found some great stencils, already converted in image and packaged for AOO. This is the easy part. The hard part is some shapes that haven't in AOO, like a round square/rectangle with space to write some text as title (at top). Take a look in this image[1] and see some squares with Dialer [A|B|C]. I saw a page in the wiki[2] that explain how i can add a new shape in a new draw file, but my question is how insert in the draw bar, inside a button like of smile. I believe that is a good shape to add in AOO. In other hand, someone can give me a idea about the filter to import VISIO files in AOO? Since now, thanks in advanced, Claudio ps: Please, add my email in CC. I'm not subscribed in this list.

You would need to do changes in the code and build your own version of AOO. There exists no generic way to add new shapes. But you can collect them in a Gallery theme. Dragging from Gallery is nearly as fast as selecting the drawing tool and then drag-create the shape. I believe that is a good shape to add in AOO. In other hand, someone can give me a idea about the filter to import VISIO files in AOO? There exist no such filter. You can define such shape in svg. It is not difficult, svg is human readable and you can use a simple editor. Using a custom shape will be difficult, because you would need to colors inside the shape. AOO imports svg as vector graphic, which is good for scaling. A Svg-image as Draw object -as all images- has a text component, so that you can write the texts as part of the image when you have insert them into Draw and need no grouping.
