Re: font scaling
Vaclav,
I use dia for pdflatex (which uses .pdf) graphics and
you can also use it for latex to produces .ps. After extensive
experimentation, I found the best way was to export to fig
format and then have fig produce the .pdf and .pdftex_t files.
Attached is a small script to produce the files, ie
type dia2pdftex name.dia and it will produce name.pdf and name.pdftex_t.

How to type accents?
Hello: In the old versions of dia one was able to type accents with an international keyboard. Dia currently supports utf8 and latin1 (iso-8859-1) so I can edit the dia file and introduce the accent but I cant with the Text object. I am using a recent CVS version and I know it is not the first time this problem is reported. Is this problem going to be fixed soon? As a former developer of dia, I am not asking that someone else fix my problem but I just want to know if this is being considered to be fixed some day and, if not, where should I look in the code. I am no more suscribed to this list. Thank you in advance.

diaV0.94-good but some bugs
Olaf Scheidt 20.08.04 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dear Dia-Team, I hope you understand my english. The Dia Tool is very great. My professors are really impressed what your developed tool can do. I have used it for a network presentation at my university here in Germany/Emden. I use the Version Dia V0.94 and have covered some bugs: 1. You cannot apply to a selected group of classes UML/Classes the same font properties. Only the last selected one changes. 2. When do you want to reload a diagram all font properties to the UML/Classes objects are gone. You have to edit each Class Diagramm separately to change the font properties where it was before you have saved it.

mind mapping/topic mapping/dependency mapping?
I have a requirement to create a picture of all the dependencies of my servers and their applications. I don't want to draw the picture/diagram nor do I wanto maintain that image. What I want (unless someone has a better idea) is to create a file of dependencies (A: B C D -> B/C/D all depend on A) and have a script generate a file (a dia file, an xfig file, something) that describes these dependencies and the have the program (dia/xfig) read the file, create the little boxes with their associated labels, run an auto-layout algorithm to spread out the little boxes, and then generate either a postscript, HPGL, dvi, jpg, png, etc., file that I can print and hand to my manager.

Using the Circuit library
Hi, As a beginner trying to find a replacement for xfig I was so impressed by pointer and shape tools in the first 10 minutes that I spend hours trying overcome the problems inserting the first shape from the library. While inserting Circuit/vresistor_de.shape I was surprised when I got hresistor_de.shape or so I thought until I found out it is just distorted by scaling. Now, the shapes of electronic components should not change the width/height aspect ratio (the body of a resistor should be a rectangle with a ratio of 1:3) and all instances of a component should be the same size. Is there a way to fix the width/height aspect ratio of shapes and their relative size so I could still resize a diagram to get more (and smaller) components in my diagram.

New to dia devt... current CVS minor problem
Hi folks, I'm new to Dia development but have generally been making a nuisance of myself in Bugzilla lately so thought I'd drop onto the list to say hello. I couldn't get current CVS to build on my FC1 system. make failed in the app folder with an error about unresolved symbols. After scratching my head as to why various libraries were missing from the linker line, I spotted that Makefile.am was updated in the past couple of weeks. By backing out the change and using the previous revision of app/Makefile.am, things build again for me. No doubt I'll post more as I start to get to grips with the current state of Dia development and the ways in which I might contribute.

I want to add Dia, but I need to cut the size a bit. I targetted the sheets -- I ran them through grep and took out all the non-English lines, as Puppy is English only. Dia starts up ok and runs and does display the library shapes, but spits out a heap of error messages like this: "premature end of data in tag object in Assorted.sheet" ...so, should I put back dummy lines somehow to make it happy? Also, a window pops up with this message: "Could not find plugin init function in '/usr/local/lib/dia/libxslt_filter.la'" I don't understand what this means. I compiled Dia on Mandrake 9.2, then copied everything into my distro. It's the same in Puppy as in mandrake except for the edited sheets, and I left out a few. Apart from all the error messages at startup, and the symbols window initially blank, I can then select a set of symbols and they do appear and I can use Dia and it all seems to work ok. Any suggestions most welcome.

print problems with dia.
Hello , I have just tried to use your application. I had no trouble with the features, until i tried to print my finished document. The scale is unbelievably huge and cannot be reduced to a single 8*11 sheet. I have tried everything suggested by your site and nothing works. Any help would be appreciated.

how to display ext_attributes
Hello! Thanks for Dia and the ext_attribute feature. I want to create administrative shapes e.g. a server has got a name (string), an operation system(string) and is of type cluster(bool). This is no problem with ext_attribute. But i want these attributes to get displayed in svg. A box with the text "OS: " and after this fixed text should appear the content of the ext_attribute "name". Would be nice if you can give an example how to refer to the value?! Thanks for any help!

I can't figure out why you would want to use a tab mark
here. If you just want an ampersand, the remedy is
simple: Just type `I\&' now. But if some right brace
up above has ended a previous alignment prematurely,
you're probably due for more error messages, and you
might try typing `S' now just to see what is salvageable.

Do I have to do something different in 9.4 to get metapost tex macros to
work. The reason I want to use 9.4 is that I heard it had fixed some bugs
about font size for metapost output. I can probably of course find a version
in between 9.2 and 9.4 that works, maybe, but in any case I thought you'd
want to know that there might be a problem with the metapost output?

How to add points (corners) to a polygon?
Dear Dia People, This program is a really nice little tool - I use it quite a lot to produce UML, ERD and database design models. However, I've encountered a situation where I'd really like to draw a >3-sided polygon and I can't see how. When I add a polygon to a diagram I get a triangle - fine as far as it goes, but I was expecting to be able to add new corner points to the object. How do I do that? I've tried almost every key combination I can think of while clicking the mouse on the edge I want to extend, but without any effect. I'm sure It's just a simple thing but i can't figure it out - the FAQ doesn't seem to mention polygons, and the documentation doesn't say how as far as I can see. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance, Keith Bremer. ___ Dia-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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

UTF-8 Charset & Java Plugin Development - Problems
Dear Friends,
I'm writing a kind of a Java module that generates Dia diagrams, but I'm
facing some problems related to the UTF-8 File format. My Java class
generates
a file but when I try to open it using Dia comes a message saying the file
format is unknown.
Altough it is in the very beginning I'm appending the java code hoping it
may help.
Thanks in advance.

Dia on TheOpenCD v2.0
Hello, Just writing to let you know that Dia has been selected for v2.0 of TheOpenCD scheduled for release in December. This is a compilation of the very best user-level FOSS available on the Windows platform. The program selection is slowly growing as more desktop applications mature, but the current number is still just 25. In the next few weeks we'll be working on the text and other content to be included with the CD browser. This time the installer will also be multi-lingual. You are invited to stop by our forum [1] and wiki [2] to help with text authoring, screenshot submissions or other suggestions that will help portray Dia in a favorable light. We would also appreciate any help you could provide with translations (esp. after the text freeze on Nov 10th).

Dia hex-grid vs. triangular grid
Hi All, Hex-grid is great idea (I see it in v0.94) ! As evolution of it, I think, triangular grid should be added or even hex-grid should be replaced with triangular. Triangular grid has all features and advantages of hex-grid (in fact, tri-grid is exactly hex-grid with extra point in center of hexagon) and some additional: guidelines are continuous, more guided directions from each grid point, etc. Could someone make it for Dia, please ?

Jiri Biba --- I don't know what version of dia you use, mine does support sequence diagrams. It is a bit tricky to cope with more than one activity focus per life line (just overlay them *g*) and needs some time to make messages look synchronous (straight forward horizontal, due to fixed/discrete connection points), but afterall I'm able to draw sequence diagrams. Did I mix up something or is my sequence diagram (objects in horizontal line, vertical lifelines with rectangular boxes on them, cute crosses for destructions, pretty arrows for messages) different from yours? Maybe sub-activities (call from one activity focus of object A to a sub-activity of the origin focus, maybe to illustrate recursion or stacking of method calls) are a point to do something. But everyday-sequence diagrams already look fine. ___ Dia-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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

How do I do that? Middle click on the object (if you have a three button mouse and the menu bar disabled) If you have the menubar enabled then right clicking (as opposed to middle clicking) on the object should prompt you to Add Corner or Delete Corner. If you double click on the icons in the toolbox you will get extra options for some of the tools.

By all accounts autolayout is very difficult. Using the Dia command line options you can automate the task of exporting to more than one file format Usage: dia [OPTION...] --load-modules=MODULE1,MODULE2,... Dynamic modules to load Application options -e, --export=OUTPUTExport loaded file and exit -t, --export-to-format=FORMAT Export to file format and exit. Supported formats are: cgm, dia, dxf, eps, eps-pango, fig, mp, plt, hpgl, png, shape, svg, tex, wpg -n, --nosplash Don't show the splash screen -c, --credits Display credits list and exit -v, --version Display version and exit > Anyone have any thoughts how to do this easily? Hope that helps. Thanks for using Dia.

dia 0.94 Win32, Save failed
Hi, I use DIA 0.94 (German) on Win98-System. I create a Draw and save it. Then I modify it and would save it again with file - save or Strg+S but I get two messages and the saving failed: "Die Ausgabedatei C:\Daten... konnte nicht geöffnet werden. No such file or directory." "Datei ... konnte nicht gespeichert werden." The error appears only when in the path a umlaut (ü, ö, ä, ...). But File - Save As works fine. Is there a solution or workaround to fix this?

dia 0.94 Win32, double-click on dia-file failed
Hi, I use DIA 0.94 (German) on Win98-System. When I would open a dia-file with double-click, then I get an error from LIBGTK-Win32-2.0-0.DLL. Please see the attached GIF. When I open a file in DIA with file - open, there are no errors. Is there a workaround or solution to stop this?
