Importing and Exporting Graphics

StarOffice supports a long list of graphics formats. Hour 11, "Adding Graphics to Documents," describes how to import graphic images into a document. This same process can be used to import saved image files into spreadsheets, presentations, or StarDraw files.

When you create a bitmapped image in the Image Editor (described in Hour 11), or a vector image in StarDraw (described in Hour 6, "Creating Graphics with StarDraw"), you can export that image in any of several bitmapped or vector graphics formats. To do so, choose Export from the File menu (see Figure 5.10).

Figure 5.10
The Export dialog box enables you to create many graphic formats from a StarDraw or Image Editor file.

The following formats are supported for import and export:

Note - The file extension designations used in the Export dialog box are all three letters, based on the Microsoft Windows standard for which StarOffice was originally written. You might need to rename your exported files with different file extensions so that your Linux programs recognize them. This is true with JPG (JPEG), HTM (html), and others.
