Yes, if you want to draw a line, you create a line object and then add
it to the document. The Draw and Impress chapters of my book are
available as a free download, and it contains numerous examples of
shapes and lines and such.

Hi Senthil,
no your understanding is wrong, when using the OOo API you work more
or less directly on documents of the different application areas. If
you want to draw lines, circles and other stuff directly in a canvas
you have to use Java APIs directly.

Hi Juergen,
Thanks for the reply. I have now subscribed to the mailing list
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
I took a look at the SDK
examples(http://api.openoffice.org/docs/DevelopersGuide/Drawing/Drawing.htm
and in that 9.3.2 Shapes) but they I presume are for drawing/adding
shapes on a document, not for drawing lines, circles and stuff
directly on a canvas(and I am trying to find how to draw lines,
ovals, rectangles, arrows and text boxes using a Java API for the
drawing(or presentation) tool so I think I will be doing on a canvas
if I am using the drawing tool).
Can you please let me know if my understanding is correct or not?
Thanks a lot.
Sincerely
Senthil
P.S. My apologies if this is a very elementary question for this group.

Hi,
do you have subscribed to the mailing list? If no, please subscibe
to the mailing list and ask your question on the mailing list. This
has the advantage that you will get faster an answer when for
example people you have contacted directly are not available.
To your question:
Please take a look to the SDK examples
(<sdk>/examples/DevelopersGuide/Drawing), they show the use of the
API to draw shapes and other graphic objects.
I hope this helps

Hi All,
I am a beginner to OpenOffice.org.
I am trying to make it possible by the user to insert structures
like MS Office's organisation chart in the Drawing and
Presentation documents so as to make drawing such structures in OO a
command rather than the user manually trying to do it
I am trying to implement functionality by which a user can choose
the number and
shapes(say 3 rectangles) and their hierarchy. One on top as parent
having two children. Just as MS Office has an organisation chart I
want to know how the wizard(I presume there is a wizard in Office to
create an Organisation Chart. I want to see how the steps work in
creaing the chart to get ideas for how to build a graphic of a graph
or tree).
Can anybody please suggest me the correct direction and the correct
method to do this.
Thanks a lot
Sincerely
Senthil
P.S. My apologies for posting again but I sent this on May 4 and
