Adding a new theme to the Gallery
To add a new theme to the Gallery:
1) Click the New Theme button above the list of themes (Figure 304).
2) In the Properties of New Theme dialog, click the General tab and type a name for the new
theme.
3) Click the Files tab and add images to the theme, as described earlier.
Deleting a theme from the Gallery
To delete a theme from the Gallery:
1) Go to Tools > Gallery.
2) Select from the list of themes the theme you wish to delete.
3) Right-click on the theme, then click Delete on the context menu.
Location of the Gallery and the objects in it
Graphics and other objects shown in the Gallery can be located anywhere on your computer’s hard
disk, on a network drive, or other removable media. When you add graphics to the Gallery, the files
are not moved or copied; the location of each new object is simply added as a reference.
In a workgroup, you may have access to a shared Gallery (where you cannot change the contents
unless authorized to do so) and a user Gallery, where you can add, change, or delete objects.
The location of the user Gallery is specified in Tools > Options > LibreOffice > Paths. You can
change this location, and you can copy your gallery files (SDV) to other computers.
Gallery contents provided with LibreOffice are stored in a different location. You cannot change this
location.
Creating an image map
An image map defines areas of an image (called hotspots) with hyperlinks to web addresses, other
files on the computer, or parts of the same document. Hotspots are the graphic equivalent of text
hyperlinks (described in Chapter 12). Clicking on a hotspot causes LibreOffice to open the linked
page in the appropriate program (for example, the default browser for an HTML page; LibreOffice
Calc for an ODS file; a PDF viewer for a PDF file). You can create hotspots of various shapes and
include several hotspots in the same image.
To use the image map editor:
1) In your LibreOffice document, click on the picture in which you want to create the hotspots.
2) Choose Edit > ImageMap from the menu bar. The ImageMap Editor (Figure 306) opens.
3) Use the tools and fields in the dialog (described below) to define the hotspots and links
necessary.
4) Click the Apply icon to apply the settings.
5) When done, click the Save icon to save the image map to a file, then click the X in the
upper right corner to close the dialog.
The main part of the dialog shows the image on which the hotspots are defined. A hotspot is
identified by a line indicating its shape.
