Calc Guide
Arranging graphics
Graphics in a Calc document are maintained in a similar manner to a
deck of cards. As you add more images to the document, each image
occupies a new layer at the top of the stack. To arrange graphics, you
tell Calc to change the order of layers in the stack.
Figure 104: Layering effect
Calc provides four basic options to re-arrange the order of images.
These options can be accessed from both the Picture toolbar and the
picture context menu:
Bring to Front
Places the image on top of any other graphics or text.
Bring Forward
Brings the image one level up in the stack (z-axis). Depending on the
number of overlapping objects, you may need to apply this option
several times to obtain the desired result.
Send Backward
The opposite of Bring Forward; sends the selected image one level
down in the object stack.
Send to Back
Sends the selected graphic to the bottom of the stack, so that other
graphics and text cover it.
