I have an image that I have inserted into Impress. I want to click on area of the image to get the color so that I can set the background of the slide to that color. I see there is a Color Replacer but that doesn't seem to do what I want. Is what I am trying to do possible?
Thanks in advance!

Re: get color of imported image to set background
You can get a RGB color code by a third party pixelgraphic image editor software, and then you will able to adjust the color of the background of an Impress document.

There is not a direct (prompt) method for this task in the AOO/LO.
The AOO and LO are not pixelgraphic image editors. You can get the color code from the vectorgraphic objects only by the built-in functions or the color-related extensions, like the RGB color picker. The RGB extension use the description of the Styles, the color code will be extracted from the applied Style.

Edit: ((I just tried it: it works on any area of the screen. There is nor direct link between this picker software and the OpenOffice/LibreOffice. You must copy the color codes - picked by the software - manually to the background Style of the Impress docuument.)) |
