Desktop Publishing : Clipart

Clipart images are provided as libraries of pictures either with a desktop publishing package or separately. A clipart library will typically contain thousands of images relating to commonly used subjects. These images can be used within the desktop publisher to improve the appearance of work. Example categories might include :

• The Office
• Sport
• Leisure
• Transport

Clipart images can usually be resized and moved about on the page but can not usually be edited by the user. The use of clipart can greatly speed up the production of documents.
