Dear Experts, Dia works great for editing diagrams and I've enjoyed using it. I'd like to go one step further and try to use it's scripting ability. Basically, I would like to be able to use Dia to edit block diagrams and then use the results to generate code to implement the block diagrams. It looks like I can do code generation with the export filter (like the codegen.py plugin). But I can't figure out how to allow the user to set properties in the drawing which affect how code is generated. For example, I was plyaing around with the circuit layout tool that comes with Dia. I can draw a circuit, but I don't see how to set properties such as resistance, capacitance, etc. for the components. Roughly speaking, I'd like to be able to do something like take a circuit diagram and generate code from it.
My specific questions are: 1. Is it possible to specify custom properties for custom objects (e.g., like the resistor in the circuit diagram)? 2. Is it reasonable to expect to use Dia to create block diagrams which are then used to generate code? Thanks, -Emin _______________________________________________ dia-list mailing list dia-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list FAQ at http://live.gnome.org/Dia/Faq Main page at http://live.gnome.org/Dia
