It is the same for all parts of OpenOffice.org.
Line and Filling toolbar
The Line and Filling toolbar lets you modify the main properties of a
drawing object. See page 227 for details.
If the selected object is text, the toolbar changes to the one shown
below, which is similar to the Formatting toolbar in Writer.
Drawing toolbar
The Drawing toolbar is the most important toolbar in Draw. It contains
all the necessary functions for drawing various geometric and freehand
shapes and organizing them on the page.
Color Bar
To display the Color Bar, use View > Toolbars > Color Bar. The
toolbar then appears at the bottom of the workspace.
This toolbar lets you rapidly choose the color of the objects in your
drawing. The first box in the panel corresponds to transparency (no
color).
You can access several specialized color palettes in Draw, as well as
change individual colors to your own taste. This is done using the Area
dialog, reached by choosing Format > Area or the
pouring can
icon on
the Line and Filling toolbar.
On the Area dialog, choose the tab marked Colors.
