GitHub: _posts/-openoffice-draw-vs-visio. While neither Visio or OpenOffice try to tackle UML diagrams, I was able to throw some together in Dia, and them import them into Draw. In the end, I was totally satisfied with what I produced in OpenOffice Draw. SInce 2015 it has become clear that OpenOffice is dying under that roof because all relevant developers and other volunteers switched over to the more attractive project. OpenOffice found a new home under the roof of the Apache foundation.
Draw even has some of its own features, like exporting to PDF. OpenOffice 3.3 and LibreOffice 3.3 were identical products except from the blue/green branding. Granted, I'm not a Visio power user, but I'm hard pressed to find anything that Visio does that OpenOffice doesn't do. It just feels like a modern, intuitive application. It's somewhat of a pain to install on Windows, but it was dead simple in Ubuntu just search for "clip art" in the package manager GUI.Īctually using OpenOffice Draw was a blast. However, there is a great royalty free library available called Open Clip Art. By default, OpenOffice has a very limited library. Visio comes with a clip art library that includes various depictions of servers, routers, networks, etc. The diagrams themselves might be anything from how SMTP traffic flows from our system, over the WAN and back again, to data-center architecture, to the internal workings of a particular piece of code. Would OpenOffice Draw work instead of Visio?Ī typical Visio I might produce is a collection of clip art, shapes, text, connectors and arrows. But, every once in a while, I need to make some diagrams for a feature spec.
OpenOffice Writer and Calc have been very competent substitutes for Word and Excel. There are many differences between the two, but there are more similarities than differences. In an effort to get off of Microsoft Office, I have been trying to use alternatives instead. OpenOffice and LibreOffice are two different products.
