LibreOffice 5.0

The Document Foundation has announced LibreOffice 5.0, bringing new features including the following useful LibreLogo extension: now it’s possible to join arbitrary number of points using the command POINT with CLOSE and FILL in PENUP mode. For example, drawing a chord is quite easy:

CIRCLE 150
PENUP
FORWARD 75
POINT
BACK 75
RIGHT 60
FORWARD 75
POINT
CLOSE

or drawing a “flat” star:

PENUP
REPEAT 5 [
    FORWARD 100
    POINT
    BACK 100
    RIGHT 360/10
    FORWARD 70
    POINT
    BACK 70
    RIGHT 360/10
]
FILLCOLOR “GOLD”
FILL

and drawing nice sheriff badges:

TO star n m
PENUP
PENSIZE n/m
REPEAT m [
    FORWARD n
    PENCOLOR “GOLD”
    POINT
    BACK n
    RIGHT 360/m/2
    FORWARD n*0.6
    PENCOLOR “INVISIBLE”
    POINT
    BACK n*0.6
    RIGHT 360/m/2
]
PENCOLOR “INVISIBLE”

PENSIZE n/m/3
