DRAWING OBJECTS

                 If you need to create a flowchart or a callout box in your document, LibreOffice Writer offers drawing tools for
                 this purpose. The drawing tools in Writer are easy to use and help you create high-quality designs, diagrams,
                 and drawings. Once you’ve made your drawings, you can insert them directly into your document. These
                 diagrams can also be copied or imported into other software.

                 All these tools are present on the Drawing toolbar. We can access the Drawing toolbar by selecting the
                 View  Toolbars  Drawing option from the Menu bar. The Drawing toolbar provides the following tools:

                 Changing Properties of Drawing Objects

                 You can modify the properties of the object you are working on. LibreOffice Writer offers the Drawing Object
                 Properties toolbar for customising objects. With this toolbar, you can move, resize, rotate, and edit the object
                 in various ways.




                 Follow the given steps to change the properties of a drawing object:
                 Step 1:   Click on the Rectangle tool from the Drawing toolbar. The cursor changes to a plus sign with a
                         small rectangle.
