| Description | The OpenDocument Drawing (ODG) format is specifically designed for vector graphics, including diagrams, illustrations, charts, and flowcharts. As part of the OpenDocument family, ODG files integrate with various vector graphics applications, notably open-source suites like LibreOffice and its predecessor, OpenOffice. |
| Technical details | ODG files use the hierarchical structure of XML to organize and store data. They utilize ZIP compression and can include multiple pages. The format supports a wide variety of graphical components, such as layers, which allow for layering different elements to create complex graphics, as well as shapes, lines, and text. ODG also supports styles, which ensure consistent formatting across a document's elements, making the editing process easier. ODG files also support real-time collaborative editing, enabling multiple users to work simultaneously on a single file. Generally, ODG files can be opened and modified using applications like LibreOffice, OpenOffice, and Inkscape. They can also be converted to various formats, such as PDF, PNG, and SVG, using the appropriate tools or conversion software. |
