I assume he's just describing how he currently makes presentations. >> With this feature in order to drill down into a component, you actually >> literally drill into (double click) the boxes (aka components, etc.) > This is not how it is implemented.

Then any web browser that supports SVG can be used as the presentation viewer. If the inter-diagram links are either preserved or converted during SVG export, that would enhance the navigation capabilities of the presentation. _______________________________________________ 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
