Refinement questions Date: 16 Oct 2001 15:43:37 -0500 Hi Dia Maintainers :-) I am attempting to use Dia for production UML modeling, and with the .89 CVS build from the second week of October 2001 it finally seems as if the basic functionality is working and reasonably reliable. However, there are a few important refinements needed for things to be truely complete in support of basic UML class modeling. I can probably help with the implementation of these refinements, but someone who is truely conversent with the code would be better able to quickly do these things (many of which are trivial) in the "correct" way. Sincerely, Jonathan A. George OO Architect and Linux Supporter Dia Wishlist for UML Modeling ============================================= UML: Components need freehand notes sections. UML: Use zigzag/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
