@kp If I understand you correctly, a possible (alternative) solution may be to use ext-attributes to store the code.
http://dia-installer.de/doc/en/custom-shapes-chapter.html#N41016 Caveat: not sure whether "programatically access" includes Python scripting. An additional benefit would be that you can double-click on the object to edit the code. -----Original Message----- From: Hans Breuer <h...@breuer.org> Sender: dia-list-bounces@gnome.orgDate: Sat, 12 May 2012 00:38:29 To: <dia-list@gnome.org> Reply-To: discussions about usage and development of dia <dia-list@gnome.org> Subject: Re: Dia for programming At 09.05.2012 09:36, k p wrote: > I use DIA mainly for my programming, which is mainly in assembler. > > I just wonder if the following would be possible by using Python in DIA ? > I dont quite get the model you have in mind, but it is certainly possible to do diagram to source code transformations with PyDia.
