Dear LibreOffice Gurus:
Congratulations to everyone involved for winning the “InfoWorld BOSSIE – Best
of Open Source – Awards 2011” for LibreOffice.
LibreOffice is getting better all the time, and its ability to use Scalable
Vector Graphics (SVG) is improving. It appears that a goal of LibreOffice is to
fully integrate DRAW into the LibreOffice suite, which will simplify exchanging
graphics with all components of the suite. For example, if you create an image
in Draw, reusing it in a Writer document is as simple as copying and pasting
the image. You can also work with drawings directly from within Writer or
Impress, using a subset of the functions and tools from Draw.
Even-though Draw’s functionality is extensive I was hoping that an enhancement
will be made.
There are numerous SVG files available. It is very easy to obtain SVG code with
a Web browser, select the SVG code, and copy that SVG code into another
application or file. Please modify the LibreOffice suite so that SVG code can
be pasted directly into the suite without having to create a new SVG file and
then Inserting that new SVG file into LibreOffice.
Here are the proposed steps:
1. Launch a Web browser.
2. Navigate to the desired SVG picture (for example:
http://www.openclipart.org/people/gustavorezende/silhouettesurfer.svg).
3. With the Web Browser, Right Click the mouse, then choose View Page Source.
4. Select the SVG code and copy it.
5. Launch LibreOffice.
6. Choose File, New, Drawing.
7. Select Insert, Picture, (SVG Code). Note (SVG Code) currently does not
appear.
8. Paste the previously copied SVG code into LibreOffice.
9. Click an OK button or Cancel to quit.
10. The SVG Picture will appear within document.
Please note that it is possible to insert a Picture with the Insert, Picture,
From File.... command. However the ability to skip the file creation and
loading steps would be a great time saver and nice enhancement.
Thank you!
