Short Answer Questions

  1. What is a digital image? How can it be created?

Answer:
A digital image is a visual representation of an object or scene using a set of binary values (0s and 1s), commonly known as pixels. These pixels form the overall image that we see on digital devices. In digital documents, such images or graphics are referred to as digital images.

Digital images are usually saved in various file formats such as JPG, JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, and others.

You can create a digital image in several ways:

  • By using photo editing software like Microsoft Paint, Adobe Photoshop, or CorelDRAW.
  • By capturing photos with digital devices such as a digital camera or smartphone.
  • By taking screenshots from a computer or mobile device screen.
  1. What are the steps to insert an image from the gallery using the Drag and Drop method?

Answer:
The drag and drop method allows you to insert an image easily by moving it from its location to the desired spot in a document.

Here’s a step-by-step process:

  • Open the document (e.g., in LibreOffice Writer) where you want to insert the image.
  • Open the file explorer (press Win + E) and locate the image you want to insert.
  • Click and drag the image file into the document window.
  • Drop it at the position where you want the image to appear.
  1. How is resizing an image different from cropping it?

Answer:
Resizing means changing the size of the entire image—either making it smaller or larger—without removing any part of it. It helps fit the image properly within a document or layout.

Cropping, on the other hand, involves cutting out unwanted parts of the image. It is used to focus on a specific area or remove unnecessary background or details.

In short:

  • Resizing changes the image’s dimensions.
  • Cropping removes portions of the image.
  1. What are the tools available in the drawing toolbar? Describe any five tools.

Answer:
The drawing toolbar has many tools that help you draw and design different shapes and objects. Some of the tools are:

Select, Line, Arrow, Curve, Rectangle, Square, Circle, Triangle, Polygon, Text Box, Symbol, Star, Flowchart, Callouts, Fontwork, and more.

Here are five simple tools and what they do:

  • Select Tool:
    Used to click and choose any shape or object.
  • Line & Arrow Tool:
    Used to draw straight lines or arrows.
  • Curve Tool:
    Used to draw curved lines.
  • Polygon Tool:
    Used to draw shapes with many sides (like triangles or hexagons).
  • Rectangle Tool:
    Used to draw rectangles or squares.
  1. What is the difference between linking and embedding an image? When would you use linking?

Answer:

  • Linking means adding a shortcut to the image, not the image itself. This keeps the file size small.
  • Embedding means inserting the whole image into the document, which makes the file size bigger.

You should use linking when you want to use the same image many times or keep the document size small.

  1. What are the steps to change drawing object properties?

Answer:
To change the properties of a drawing object:

  1. Click on the object you want to change.
  2. A toolbar will appear (Drawing Object Properties Toolbar).
  3. Click on the icon of the property you want to change (like color, size, or line style).
  4. Change the value.
  5. The object will change based on your new settings.
  1. What are the benefits and drawbacks of grouping drawing objects?

Answer:
The benefits of grouping drawing objects are:

  • Grouping combines all different shapes to behave as a single entity without affecting its size and position.
  • Grouping helps in moving and resizing all objects together.
  • Once grouped, all shapes belonging to that group become its members, and any change applied to one member works on all.

Drawbacks of grouping drawing objects are:

  • After grouping, it is not easy to delete any one drawing object.
  • It is not easy to change the size and position of any single drawing object.
  1. Describe any two tools from the Drawing Object Properties toolbar.

Answer:

  • Area Style/Filling: Used to change the area filling style, i.e., color, gradient, pattern, hatching, bitmap, etc.
  • Rotate: Helps in rotating objects as per the requirement.
  • Fill Color: Helps in changing the filled color of any shape.
  • Line Color: Used to change the color of the line of a drawing object.
  • Caption: To add a caption to the drawing object.

  1. What controls the position of an image in a document?

Answer:
Four things control how an image is placed in a document:

  1. Arrangement – which layer the image is on (front or back).
  2. Anchoring – what the image is attached to (page, paragraph, etc.).
  3. Alignment – the image’s position (left, center, right).
  4. Text Wrapping – how text moves around the image.

You can change these settings in three ways:

  • From the Format menu,
  • By right-clicking on the image,
  • Using the Drawing Object Properties Toolbar.
