What is an ODG file?

An ODG file is a drawing created by Draw, a vector graphics editing application available in the LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice suites. It contains one or more pages that may include lines, shapes, symbols, and text. ODG files may also store metadata about the drawings, such as the creator, creation date, and when it was last modified.
