[编辑] Draw是什么?

绘图工具是一个矢量图形绘制程序。它提供一系列强大的工具，能够使您能够快速地创建各种各样的图形。向量图形是通过向量进行图像的储存和显示（例如两点一线）。这种方法，远优于像素逐个的集合方法（屏幕上的点集）。矢量图形能够更加方便地储存和图象缩放。
Draw is a vector graphics drawing program. It offers a series of powerful tools that enable you to quickly create all sorts of graphics. Vector graphics store and display an image as vectors (two points and a line) rather than a collections of pixels (dots on the screen). Vector graphics allow for easier storage and scaling of the image.

Draw is perfectly integrated into the OpenOffice.org suite, and this makes exchanging graphics with all components of the suite very easy. For example, if you create an image in Draw, reusing it in a Writer document is as simple as copying and pasting. You can also work with drawings directly from within Writer and Impress, using a subset of the functions and tools from Draw.

Draw’s functionality is very extensive and complete. Although it was not designed to rival high-end graphics applications, Draw possesses more functions than the majority of drawing tools that are integrated into office productivity suites.

A few examples of drawing functions might whet your appetite: layer management, magnetic grid point system, dimensions and measurement display, connectors for making organization charts, 3D functions enabling small three-dimensional drawings to be created (with texture and lighting effects), drawing and page style integration, and Bézier curves, to name a few.

This chapter introduces some of Draw’s features, but it does not attempt to cover all of the them. See the Draw Guide and the application Help for more information.

绘图工具被出色整合到OpenOffice.org组件中，它能够很容易的与其他组件交换图片。例如，如果你在Draw中创建了一个图片，可以把它简单的复制粘贴到Writer 文档中。你也可以直接在Writer和Impress中利用Draw工具和函数作图。 Draw is perfectly integrated into the OpenOffice.org suite, and this makes exchanging graphics with all components of the suite very easy.

Draw提供了强大和全面的工具。虽然它不是被用来设计高档的图像应用，但仍然提供了比Office大多数的绘图工具更多的功能。 Draw’s functionality is very extensive and complete. Although it was not designed to rival high-end graphics applications, Draw possesses more functions than the majority of drawing tools that are integrated into office productivity suites.

以下绘图功能的示例也许正是你所需要的：层管理、磁性网格吸附，网格划分和测量功能，设置图标配置组件，3D功能可创建小的三维图画（使用贴图效果和光线效果），图片和页面格式的样式整合统一，Bézier曲线，还有一些其他的功能你能自己去发现。 A few examples of drawing functions might whet your appetite: layer management, magnetic grid point system, dimensions and measurement display, connectors for making organization charts, 3D functions enabling small three-dimensional drawings to be created (with texture and lighting effects), drawing and page style integration, and Bézier curves, to name a few.
