Graphical question

2006-02-27 Thread Jim Clark

In the charts I am making that I mentioned previously (and 0.95 still has funky Windows font issues) I have decided to color code my boxes, based upon who performs the task listed. This will work well, with one exception. I have a series of boxes about things that are done in conjunction with the customer. The system admin (blue box) performs the task, the customer (red box) works with the sys admin. I wonder if there is some way to have (for instance) diagonal colored stripes going through the box,rather than a monochromatic background, showing that this box is a team effort.

Thanks-

Dia on IBM Developerworks

2006-02-27 Thread Jonathan Bartlett
FYI - I just posted an article on IBM's developerworks about Enterprise
Metaprogramming, and I used dia as the example sstem.  You can read the
article here:

http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-metaprog3/

I didn't use dia's plugin system because (a) at the time I didn't know
about it, and (b) the series is Scheme-based anyway.

Anyway, just thought I'd let you all know.

Jon

No way yet. The only fill style supported is FILLSTYLE_SOLID and almost
any plug-in:set_fillstyle message_error(s) on it ...

FEATURE: svg export

2006-02-27 Thread Christoph Ullwer
Hi folks 
Dia 0.95 is nice, but the svg export doesn't work correctly for fonts. 
They are always in a wrong size and a bit moved to the right I think.
Would be nice if that would work in the new version.

Thx 
Christoph

What does an object need to be a parent?

2006-02-27 Thread alvarezp
Hi, all.

I'd like to know what does an object need to be a parent.

I seem not to be able to parent a simple box into another box.

Thanks in advance.

Octavio.

It needs to have the can_parent flag set on the Object.  I.e., it is
hardcoded.
