This gallery contains artwork that can be integrated in the OpenOffice.org program suite as additional clipart galleries.
The clipart galleries in OpenOffice.org are displayed via "Extras" - "Gallery", single cliparts can be added to your documents with "drag & drop". The easiest way to integrate more cliparts in the program is by the use of Extensions. Once you open such a downloaded extension, it adds it's content automatically to OpenOffice.org.
The clipart galleries presented here are sets of scalable vector graphic or raster graphic files you can use in any OpenOffice.org document. Just download the appropriate clipart gallery, install it and drag and drop the clipart of your preference from the Gallery to your document.
Every creator of such a clipart gallery extension is invited to upload it to this wiki and link it from this page. You can find a description of the steps to create such a gallery extension in the Clipart Gallery Extension HowTo.
Every now and then the Art Project will have to decide about clipart to become officially approved by the project. This artwork will be presented at the Official Galleries, as a second step it might become part of the main program itself.

At OpenClipart.org there are lots of cliparts free to be used.
Raster graphics (file format ".png", ".jpg" or ".bmp") can be copied and pasted to any OpenOffice.org document and moved to the gallery area if you want to reuse them in other documents. Bur remember that they lose quality if you modify their size.
For scalable vector graphics (file format ".svg") you will need the SVG-Import Filter to open these files in Draw. Once they have been drawn to the gallery area they can be used and even scaled in the other applications of the office suite.
Unfortunately the SVG import filter is not perfect: High complex vector files might be rendered wrongly or don't load at all.
