Adding Images and Other Graphics

Graphics in Writer are of three basic types:

• Image files, including photos, drawings, scanned images, and others

• Diagrams created using Apache OpenOffice's drawing tools
• Charts created using Apache OpenOffice's Chart facility

See Chapter 10 (Graphics, the Gallery, and Fontwork) in this book and Chapter 8 (Working with Graphics) in the Writer Guide.
