Chapter 2 : Working with Images

Q1. What is a digital image? How can you create one?

Ans: A digital image is a picture made of pixels that can be viewed and edited on a computer.
In LibreOffice Writer, you can create one by:

• Drawing with the Drawing Toolbar


• Inserting from the Gallery
• Importing from a file or scanner

Q2. Write steps to insert an image from the gallery using Drag and Drop method.

Ans:

1. Go to View → Gallery or press F12


2. Choose a category and image
3. Drag the image to the document
4. Drop it at the desired position

Q3. How is resizing of image different from cropping it?


Ans:
• Resizing changes the image’s overall dimensions (width and height) while keeping the full
content visible.
• Cropping removes unwanted parts of the image, showing only a selected portion.

Q4. What are the tools available in drawing toolbar? Describe any five tools.

Ans:
LibreOffice Writer’s Drawing Toolbar includes tools to insert and manipulate graphical objects. Five
commonly used tools are:

1. Line Tool – Draws straight lines.


2. Rectangle Tool – Draws rectangular shapes.
3. Ellipse Tool – Draws circles or ellipses.
4. Text Tool – Inserts text boxes within the drawing area.
5. Connector Tool – Draws arrows or lines that stay connected to objects.

Q5. How is linking of an image different from embedding? Give a situation in which you would
prefer to link an image.

Ans: (a) - Linking stores the image as a reference to an external file; it is not embedded inside the
document.

- Embedding inserts the image directly into the document, increasing its file size.

(b) Prefer linking when using large images or when the image may be updated regularly (e.g., a
company logo).

Q6. Write steps to change properties for drawing objects.


Ans:
Before drawing:

1. Select a shape tool from the Drawing Toolbar.


2. Set properties like line color or fill color using the Drawing Object Properties toolbar.
3. Draw the shape on the document.

After drawing:

1. Select the drawn object.


2. Use the Properties toolbar or right-click → Properties to change attributes like color, size,
position, line style, and more.

Q7. What are the benefits and drawbacks of grouping drawing objects?

Ans:
Benefits:

• Allows multiple objects to be moved or resized together.


• Helps maintain alignment and layout consistency.

Drawbacks:

• Makes it harder to edit individual objects unless they are ungrouped or edited in Enter Group
mode.

Q8. Describe any two tools from Drawing Object Properties toolbar.
Ans:
• Line Color Tool – Changes the color of the border or outline of the selected object.
• Arrange Tool – Controls the stacking order of objects (e.g., send to back, bring to front).

Q9. Write steps to insert an image in a basic drawing shape.


Ans: Steps to Insert an Image in a Drawing Shape (LibreOffice Writer):

1. Draw a shape (e.g., Rectangle or Ellipse).


2. Right-click the shape and select Area.
3. In the Area dialog box, select Image.
4. Click Add/Import, choose your image, and click OK.

Q10. Write factors controlling positioning of an image in a document.

Ans: Image positioning in LibreOffice Writer is controlled by:

1. Arrangement – Determines stacking order (front/back).


2. Anchoring – Links the image to a paragraph, character, or page.
3. Alignment – Sets image position relative to page or text.
4. Text Wrapping – Controls how text flows around the image (e.g., wrap, through, none).
5. Position and Size dialog – Allows precise placement and resizing.
