Figure 263: The Contour Editor in action
When you are done, click on the Apply button to save the contour. If
you are not satisfied with the result, you can select the contour line
and press the Delete key to restart. You can also undo the previous
steps or you can select the Edit Points button and adjust the contour
shape point by point.
For simple images, the AutoContour button does a decent job. If the
contour has to be drawn around an area with the same or a similar
color, you can select this region using the eyedropper. Select this tool,
then click on a point in the image having the desired color. OOo
automatically selects all the points which have the same or a similar
color. The similarity level can be changed by modifying the value in the
tolerance box (100% = perfect match).
Note
While all the positioning techniques discussed in this section
apply equally to frames, contour wrapping is not possible.
Example 1: page wrapping
Figure 264 shows an example of page wrapping in action. The process
to obtain this is the following:
1) Insert the image into the document, then anchor it to the first
paragraph. To move the anchor, select the image and move it until
the anchor symbol is at the beginning of the paragraph. Do not
worry about the position as that will be fixed in the next step.
