LibreLogo poster (original PDF and OpenDocument versions)This PDF poster has been created by LibreOffice 4.0 demonstrating the capabilities of the new Logo toolbar and programming environment, also introducing (the English localization of) the commands of this Logo variant, LibreLogo. [By the way, cropping the Logo drawings on the poster was a tricky process, because the simple conversion to GDI metafile and cropping by the standard Writer crop tool is a problem source in PDF postprocessing, eg. RGB to CMYK color conversion by GhostScript results the original drawings without cropping. The working solution: copy the drawing into Draw, set the page size to the cropping area, export the document as SVG file, and insert this SVG file into Writer.]
The simple programmable vector graphics of LibreOffice 4 is quite useful in OpenDocument template development. The templates.libreoffice.org site has got a new section called LibreLogo, and some interesting new Logo related templates:
Blank sheet single line and double line music papers (see ODT and PDF1, PDF2) and their generator program. Striped border drawing program. The program asks for the border and margin width, and the list of the colors (eg. stripes of a national flag or the rainbow). For example, a new template based on this Logo template is a “red-white-green” bordered ODF template for announcements of Hungarian local authorities for elections.Simple crossword generator for teachers and (language) learners. The program will ask (1) the letter size of the crossword in pt, (2) the solution (the vertical word) and (3) the horizontal words. Word order, plus or missing words don’t matter, because the program asks new words, if needed. Crop mark drawing program for ODF and PDF documents with detailed instructions about postprocessing of LibreOffice generated PDFs, eg. combining crop marks with existing PDFs, PDF cropbox setting, RGB/CMYK color conversion.Chessboard generator. Typesetting chessboard manually or by notation in LibreOffice 4 using standard Unicode chess figures. (More about this chess drawing program and the next one: Logo for desktop publishing)Chessboard generator 2. Typesetting chessboard by notation in LibreOffice 4, using a traditional chess font face, Chess Merida.
