C. Short Answer Type Questions 10 QUESTIONS

1
What is a digital image? How can you create one?

A digital image is a picture (drawing, chart, photo, logo, graph, or video frame) represented as a finite set of digital values — 0s and 1s — known as pixels, stored in graphics file formats like GIF, JPG, JPEG, PNG, BMP, etc.

It can be created/inserted in a document using the Insert Image dialog box, by Drag and Drop, by Copy-Paste, or by Linking the image file.

2
Write steps to insert an image from the gallery using Drag and Drop method.
  1. Open the document in LibreOffice Writer where the image is to be inserted.
  2. Open the Gallery (View > Toolbars > Gallery) and locate the desired image.
  3. Click and drag the image from the Gallery to the desired position in the document.
  4. Drop it at the required location — the image gets inserted/embedded in the document.
3
How is resizing of image different from cropping it?

Resizing changes the overall size (height/width) of the image while retaining the full picture content — done by dragging the sizing handles; corner handles resize both dimensions proportionally, while edge handles resize only one dimension.

Cropping cuts off/removes an unwanted part of the image — the content itself is trimmed rather than scaled.

4
What are the tools available in drawing toolbar? Describe any five tools.

The Drawing Toolbar contains tools like Select, Insert Line, Rectangle, Ellipse/Oval, Curve, Connector, Basic Shapes, Symbol Shapes, Arrow Shapes, Flowchart Shapes, Callouts, Star Shapes, Text Box, Fontwork, Points, and Toggle Extrusion. Any five, described:

  • Rectangle — draws a rectangular shape by clicking and dragging.
  • Circle/Oval — draws a circular or oval shape.
  • Curve — draws freeform curved lines/shapes.
  • Callout (list) — draws speech/text callout boxes pointing to an object.
  • Text Box — inserts a box in which text can be typed and formatted independently of the main document text.
5
How is linking of an image different from embedding? Give a situation in which you would prefer to link an image.

Embedding saves an actual copy of the image file inside the document, increasing its file size — inserting via Insert Image, Drag-Drop, or Copy-Paste all embed the image.

Linking stores only a reference/path to the image file — the actual image stays as a separate file and is merged into view only when the document is opened, keeping the document size small.

Preferred situation: Linking is preferable when the same image needs to be inserted multiple times in a document or across documents, since only one copy of the image needs to be maintained/updated.

6
Write steps to change properties for drawing objects.
  1. Select the drawing object whose properties are to be modified (or select the drawing tool before drawing, to set default values).
  2. On the Drawing Object Properties Toolbar, click on the icon of the property to be modified (e.g. Fill Colour, Line Colour, Line Width).
  3. Change the value of the parameter as required.
  4. Repeat steps 2–3 for each property to be changed.
7
What are the benefits and drawbacks of grouping drawing objects?

Benefits: Grouped shapes behave as a single entity, so they can be moved, resized, or have properties changed together without disturbing their relative size and position — making complex multi-shape drawings (like a flowchart or family tree) much easier to edit.

Drawbacks: Individual shapes cannot be edited separately unless the group is entered (Enter Group) or ungrouped first, adding an extra step when only one shape needs modification.

8
Describe any two tools from Drawing Object Properties toolbar.
  • Fill Colour — changes/applies the background/fill colour of a selected drawing object (e.g. changing a rectangle's fill to lime yellow).
  • Line Colour — changes the colour of the border/outline of a drawing object or a drawn line, and can be combined with Line Width to set border thickness.
9
Write steps to insert an image in a basic drawing shape.
  1. Open the document in LibreOffice Writer and enable the Drawing Toolbar (View > Toolbars > Drawing).
  2. Select the desired shape from the Basic Shapes list on the Drawing Toolbar.
  3. Click and drag in the document to draw the basic shape.
  4. Right-click the shape and set its Area fill type as Image (or use Format > Area), choosing the desired image file.
  5. The selected image now appears filled inside the basic shape.
10
What is Image Filter? Describe any five filters available in the Image Filter window.

Image Filter is a tool on the Image Toolbar which, on clicking, opens a window of filters used for improving/modifying the appearance of an image. Any five filters, described:

  • Invert — inverts the colour values of a coloured image; if the image is grey-scale, its brightness is inverted instead.
  • Smooth — softens the contrast of the image (a dialogue box appears to adjust the parameter).
  • Sharpen — increases the contrast of the image.
  • Remove Noise — removes single stray pixels from the image.
  • Solarisation — reverses the tone of a photograph so dark areas appear light and light areas appear dark (parameter adjustable via a dialogue box).
  • Aging — simulates the effect of time on a picture (parameter adjustable via a dialogue box).
  • Posterise — makes a picture look like a painting by reducing the number of colours in the image.
  • Charcoal Sketch — changes the image to look like a charcoal sketch.
  • Relief — adjusts the light source to create a shadow effect.
  • Mosaic — joins a group of pixels into a single area of one colour.

Elaboration POSITIONING & TEXT WRAPPING

Factors Controlling Positioning of an Image (in full)

Once an image or drawing object has been inserted, resized and grouped (if required), it needs to be positioned correctly among the text and other objects on the page. This is controlled by four settings, accessible via the Format menu, the right-click context menu, or the Drawing Object Properties Toolbar.

(i) Arrangement — controls the stacking order of the image relative to other overlapping objects or text. Six tools, left to right:

ToolEffect
Bring to FrontPlaces the image on top of all objects/images
Forward OneBrings the image one level up among overlapping images
Back OneSends the image one level down among overlapping images
Send to BackPlaces the image at the bottom of all objects/images
To ForegroundMoves the drawing object in front of the text
To BackgroundMoves the drawing object behind the text

The first four tools apply to both images and drawings; the last two ("To Foreground"/"To Background") apply only to drawings.

(ii) Anchoring — acts as a reference point for the image or drawing. An image can be anchored to Page, Paragraph, Character, or Frame. Whenever the element it is anchored to moves, the image moves along with it.

(iii) Alignment — controls the vertical or horizontal placement of the image with respect to its anchor. Six styles are available — 3 horizontal (left, centre, right) and 3 vertical (top, middle, bottom).

(iv) Text Wrapping — controls how surrounding text flows in relation to the image (detailed below).

Together, these four settings give full control over exactly how and where an image sits relative to the page, other objects, and the surrounding text.

Text Wrapping — Detailed Description

Text Wrapping tools sit on the Drawing Object Properties Toolbar and determine how text is placed in relation to an inserted image or drawing. There are six choices, left to right:

ToolWrapping Effect
Wrap offText is placed above and below the image only (not on the sides)
Page WrapText flows around the image on all sides; moving the image rearranges the text automatically
Optimal Page WrapLike Page Wrap, but if the gap between image and margin is less than 2 cm, text will not be placed on that side
Wrap leftText is placed only on the left side of the image
Wrap rightText is placed only on the right side of the image
Wrap throughThe image is superimposed on the text — text passes behind/through the image

In short: Text Wrapping lets you choose how body text behaves around a picture or drawing — avoiding it completely (Wrap off), flowing dynamically around it (Page Wrap/Optimal Page Wrap), sticking to one side (Wrap left/right), or overlapping it entirely (Wrap through) — giving flexibility for designing visually appealing documents like newsletters or reports.
