Drawings and Presentations
This chapter provides an introduction to the macro-controlled creation and editing of
drawings and presentations.
The first section describes the structure of drawings, including the basic elements that
contain drawings. The second section addresses more complex editing functions, such as
grouping, rotating, and scaling objects. The third section deals with presentations.
Information about creating, opening, and saving drawings can be found in → Working With
Documents.

The Structure of Drawings
OpenOffice.org does not limit the number of pages in a drawing document. You can design
each page separately. There is also no limit to the number of drawing elements that you can
add to a page.
Pages
The pages of a drawing document are available through the DrawPages list. You can access
individual pages either through their number or their name. If a document has one page
and this is called Slide 1, then the following examples are identical.
Example 1:
Dim Doc As Object
Dim Page As Object
Doc = StarDesktop.CurrentComponent
Page = Doc.drawPages(0)
Example 2:
Dim Doc As Object
Dim Page As Object
Doc = StarDesktop.CurrentComponent
