Frames and drawing shapes (see frames,
images and objects) take their look from a style of family graphic,
which holds style:graphic-properties. Its children are
style:background-image, style:columns (columns in a text
box) and text:list-style (a list style for text in the shape). It also
takes the border, padding, margin, shadow and background attributes described under
paragraph
formatting. This page lists every other attribute, from OpenDocument 1.3 part 3,
section 17.21 and chapter 20. Several attributes say they may be used only in
automatic styles; that is noted.
Position and anchoring
| Attribute | Values | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
text:anchor-type, text:anchor-page-number | as on the frame element | Default anchor; the element’s own attribute wins. |
style:horizontal-pos | left, center, right, from-left, inside, outside, from-inside | Horizontal alignment against the area named by style:horizontal-rel. from-left: svg:x from the area’s left edge; from-inside: from the left edge on odd pages and the right edge on even pages; inside: like left on odd pages and right on even; outside: the reverse. For other values svg:x is ignored in text documents. Any value may be used with every anchor except as-char. |
style:horizontal-rel | page, page-content, page-start-margin, page-end-margin, frame, frame-content, frame-start-margin, frame-end-margin, paragraph, paragraph-content, paragraph-start-margin, paragraph-end-margin, char | The area. A start margin is the left margin, except the right one on even pages with from-inside, inside or outside; an end margin is the opposite one. Allowed by anchor: page anchor: the four page values; frame: the four frame values; paragraph: page and paragraph values; char: page, paragraph and char values; as-char: none. |
style:vertical-pos | top, middle, bottom, from-top, below | Vertical alignment against the area named by style:vertical-rel; from-top uses svg:y (otherwise ignored in text documents); below puts the frame’s top just below the area. |
style:vertical-rel | page, page-content, frame, frame-content, paragraph, paragraph-content, char, line, baseline, text | The area. Allowed by anchor: page: page values; frame: frame values; paragraph: page and paragraph values; char: page, paragraph and char; as-char: baseline, char, line, text. |
svg:x, svg:y, svg:width, svg:height | coordinate, length | Default position and size for new frames made with this style. |
fo:min-width, fo:min-height, fo:max-width, fo:max-height | length or percent | Default minimum and maximum sizes for new frames. |
style:rel-width, style:rel-height | percent, scale, scale-min | Relative size, as on the frame. |
style:flow-with-text | true, false | true: the shape stays inside its layout area (body text, header, footer, footnote, endnote, table cell or frame, whichever most closely holds its anchor), moving on with the text to the next area when pushed forward, and pulled back to the area’s start if it would leave it backwards; in cells and frames it is also kept inside sideways, resized if needed. false: anywhere on the anchor’s page. Not used for as-char or page anchors. |
draw:wrap-influence-on-position | iterative, once-concurrent, once-successive | A hint for placing several wrapped frames that push each other’s anchors: place repeatedly until every offset is met; place all at once; or one after the other. |
style:protect | none or a list of content, position, size | What the user may not change. |
style:editable | true, false | A text box may be edited in a read-only document. |
style:print-content | true, false | Print the frame’s content. |
style:writing-mode | as for paragraphs, plus page | Column order in a text box; page takes it from the page (page anchors) or the containing paragraph (other anchors). |
Text wrap
| Attribute | Values | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
style:wrap | none, left, right, parallel, dynamic, run-through, biggest | No wrap; text on the left only; on the right only; on both sides; both sides, as far as style:wrap-dynamic-threshold allows; text runs through the frame; on the side with more room. |
style:wrap-dynamic-threshold | non-negative length | For dynamic: the least gap to the page or column edge at which text still wraps. |
style:run-through | foreground (default), background | With run-through: the frame is in front of or behind the text. |
style:wrap-contour | true, false | Wrap round the object’s contour rather than its box. |
style:wrap-contour-mode | full, outside | Contour wrap fills gaps in the shape, or keeps to its outer left and right edges. |
style:number-wrapped-paragraphs | no-limit or positive integer | How many paragraphs may wrap round a paragraph- or character-anchored frame (with left, right, parallel or dynamic wrap). |

draw:fill in a style switches off fo:background-color and
the background image.

draw:tile-repeat-offset | percent and horizontal or vertical | Offset of each row or column of tiles from the previous one. |
svg:fill-rule | nonzero, evenodd | Which areas of a self-crossing path are inside (SVG §11.3). |
