I've been trying to use Dia on and off for UML for a while, and with the current CVS build it has finally reached the point of minimal usefulness! I have made a list of features which would bring greatly needed features for OO modeling some of which are as simple as changing default line types. Some of these things I can do myself, but people who are already experts in the Dia code could accomplish these things much more quickly.
Please send email if you can help with getting this list implemented. (BTW .89 seems releasable to me, it works significantly more reliably than .88.1) Sincerely, Jonathan [ Debian AT austin DOT rr DOT com ] Dia Wishlist for UML Modeling ============================================= UML: Components need freehand notes sections. UML: Use polylines for connectors by default UML: Set default color for objects per type UML: Set default font for objects per type UML: Set colors and fonts based on object attributes (i.e. static methods) UML: Connector attachment order should always reflect arrow direction UML: Suppress arguments/argument names/return values/names/types UML: Selected component notes should be displayed in a separate window or pane. UML: Selection of type names from existing class names and fundamental types UML: Derived classes should be able to specify their parent class/interface UML: Classes/interfaces should propagate abstract methods to child classes UML: Standard shapes should be supported for interfaces etc. --------------------------------------------- General: Optional snap to attachment for line ends in or near a closed object General: Floating elbows for lines which maintain relative endpoint distance General: Optional center point attachment for connectors with line masking General: Disable grid display for default unless snap to grid is enabled General: Option to allow partial selected objects to be moved General: Support delete key for removing objects _______________________________________________ Dia-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list
