I haven't tried GEF, so I'm not sure what it can do. Dia is somewhat MVC-designed, but I don't know if that's what you're after. > i'd like to know : > - how can i have properties for a component ? I'm guessing that you're talking about properties for generic objects, not just for the UML Component object. The StdProps system defines a number of standard properties, such as string, integer, color, dashes etc. Each object can define a number of these, and they are automatically loaded, saved and settable in the properties dialog. > - how can o explore my diagram ? No idea what you mean here. > - what can i do with a plugin for DIA ? Theoretically anything, but in practice the access to the GUI itself is very limited. The current plugins are just imports, exports, and object definitions. You could do some inter-object operations like checking validity of connections, but nobody's tried it yet, so we don't know the practicalities of it. There's no systematic access for plugins to, say, the menus or the preferences. -Lars _______________________________________________ Dia-list mailing list Dia-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list FAQ at http://www.gnome.org/projects/dia/faq.html Main page at http://www.gnome.org/projects/dia
