Graphics Mode (Image Mode)

Graphics Mode defines how an image is processed and displayed in the document. It affects the ima ge's
quality and how it interacts with other elements.

To access the Graphic mode, follow the given steps:

Step 1: Click the Graphics mode drop-down menu.

Step 2: Choose from the available options like Default, Grayscale, Black/White and watermark.
• Default: The image appears as it is.
• Grayscale: Converts the image to shades of gray.
• Black & White: Converts the image to only black and white colors.
• Watermark: Makes the image lighter, typically used as a background image or watermark.

Flip Vertically
The Flip Vertically tool mirrors the image along the vertical axis. This means that the top of the image will
become the bottom, and vice versa. It's useful when you need to create a reflection effect or correct an
image that's upside down.

Follow the steps to flip vertically:

Step 1: Select the image you want to flip.

Step 2: Click on the Flip Vertically button in the Picture Toolbar.
Step 3: The image will be flipped, with the top becoming the bottom.

Flip Horizontally
The Flip Horizontally tool mirrors the image along the horizont al axis. The left side of the image will
become the right side, and vice versa . Thi s is often used to create a mi rrored effect or correct an image
that's backward.

Follow the steps to fli p horizontally:

Step 1: Select t he image you want to flip.

The high velocity winds rain and tidal surge brought heavy dama~es

hours. This brought heavy rain for three days continuously. :
Moreover, the cyclonic winds caused the tidal waves that swept 26 · ••

destroyed 2 million houses and caused damage to standing crop of
paddy and other crops over several thousand hectares of land. It also
uprooted over 90 million trees. About three hundred other cyclones
have been reported both on the East Coast and the West Coast from
1905 to 2005.

a. Open LibreOffice Writer and create a new document. To start working with shapes, enable the
Drawing toolbar by navigating to View > Toolbars > Drawing. Ensure the toolbar is visible at
the bottom of your screen.

b. Select the Rectangle or Ellipse tool from the Drawing tool bar. Click and drag on the document
to create a shape that will represent a type of natural disaster. For example, use one shape to
represent Earthquake. Repeat this step to add more shapes representing other natural disasters
such as Flood, Hurricane, and Tsunami.

c. Click on each shape to add relevant text. For example, label each shape with a natural disaster
na me: Earthquake, Flood, Hurricane, Tsunami, etc.

d. Use the Line or Arrow tool from the Drawing toolbar to draw lines or arrow s connecting the
shapes, showing relationships or you may also choose to group similar disasters togeth er or
show a flow from causes to effects.

e. To enhance the visual appeal, you can modify the properties of the shapes. Select a shape, then
