OpenOffice.org Draw is a vector graphics editor and is part of the OpenOffice.org office suite. It features "connectors" between shapes, which are available in a range of line styles and facilitate building drawings such as flowchart. It also includes many features found in desktop publishing software.

OpenOffice.org users can also install the Open Clip Art Library, which adds an extensive gallery of flags, logos, icons and banners for general presentation and drawing projects. In particular, Linux distributions Debian and Ubuntu have provided ready-to-use openclipart packages for easy download and install from their online software repositories.

Released under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public Licence, Draw is free software.

[edit] SVG support status

Currently OpenOffice.org supports exporting to SVG format officially, though with some limitations to be resolved.[1] The SVG import filter,[2] however, is still under development and requires the Java Runtime Environment to be installed.

It is anticipated that as SVG and SVG filters evolve, users will be able to use Draw to edit the large scale collection of SVG samples from Open Clip Art Library.
