You can also select one or more boxes and use Edit > Duplicate to make copies (see Figure 3).
Using styles can also be helpful see the relevant section in Chapter 4 (Changing Object Attributes). It is sometimes easier to draw only one box per level later you can copy and paste this box and then move the copies The exact size (particularly width), position, and color
Place and dimension the individual boxes according to the size of the overall chart. Typical boxes that you will use in drawing the chart. Be sure your color choices maintain a good contrast between text color and background so that you can easily read the printed diagram.īefore you begin, prepare a setup page or draft, with snap lines, to assist in drawing the various hierarchies, responsibility paths, and You can indicate hierarchies by using a color progression from dark to light tones. 4.1 Adjusting text to suit the connecting lineĮven though Draw does not have an organization chart toolbar, you can draw these charts by drawing rectangles and connector lines (see Figure 1).I have tried saving it in Visio as a SVG and using Xara Xtreme to open the SVG to export to EPS but it doesn't render the SVG for some reason and exports garbage. For some reason the hatching is not shown when OpenOffice opens the EMF. This hatching is not preserved doing my usual process. The problem I am having now is that one of my drawings uses a fill to create hatching. Having OpenOffice export the figure as an EPS generally guarantees that the bounding box is set correctly. The other problem is that if, for example, I use a postscript printer driver (HP Lasterjet 5/5M PS) to generate the EPS directly from Visio, the bounding box of the EPS is incorrect. That's why I do not want to save it as a JPEG or anything. The reason for the convoluted process is that I need to keep the drawing in a vector format so that I do not have any quality problems when scaling it in latex.
The best that I can do is draw the figure in Visio, save it in Visio as an EMF, open the EMF in OpenOffice and save as an EPS and then in linux convert the EPS to PDF. I need to convert Visio drawings into PDF's for latex figures.
