Graph::ASCII::Dia
Hi, I need ASCII diagramming; I couldn't find anything so I decided to wrap one myself :). I 'm writting a perl module to generate ASCII diagrams from Dia. I have a simple prototype that is nowhere near something I'd release but if some are interrested, I'd happily share. If someone is really interrested, I can even think about giving it up as I don't think I will really have time to do this seriously. I was going to do a full blown diagramming tool but It would have taken even more time. Only very simple diagrams can be converted (ex diagonals are not supported at all). There is also a problem with lines following the border of characters when the ASCII representation IS the character. One solution would be to create a stencil for ASCII graphs, if anyone feels like helping, he/she is very welcome. Though I'd also like to support the standard Dia stencils and not force all users to install new componants. Here is a simple, and silly, example better seen in a monospace font. Again, this is a pre-pre-pre release and I show it to get help and input. The Todo list is longer than the code.

Preview in explorer
I'm using Gentoo-KDE, has enyone written a "Preview" plugin for Konqueror? I"d very much like to see the contents of a diagram without opening it. it would be great if the md5 of the graph used to generate images (pns, ...) would be embeded in the image.

Read only attribute
Please, please, please, Could the dev team _stop_ doing a backup and allow the modification of "read only" files. I understand that this is a unix file attribute problem and not a Dia problem (that's why I haven't reported it as a bug) but applications must also play the game and not change file names for files that are marked read only. At least display some message and allow the user to cancel.

Re: Graph::ASCII::Dia
I would too if I didn't find python to be an extremely borring language :-) (a very good language indeed but still). In any case, export to ASCIIis goingto neeed a stencil if it is going to be really usable. Cheers, Nadim.

Re: Read only attribute
Nice to know other got the problem too; it makes me feel less lonely. I hope glib gets what you need soon. Hans, do you want small stuff to be discussed in the mailling list first or to be reported as "bug" directly? an example, when moving connector ends, the standard icon is a 4 way arrow which obscures completely the connector making the whole procedure a pain. is that to be discussed here or reported? Cheers, Nadim. PS: I'm quite happy to not have to implement another Dia just to make ASCII diagrams. Thanks for Dia.

Following the link provided would have revealed that GLib already has g_access() since 2.8. An implementation conditionalized on GLIB_CHECK_VERSION(2,8,0) would be accepted. But there are at least two reasons why we don't have a hard dependency on GLib 2.8 yet. For one it would imply gtk+-2.8 and thus cairo and complete dropping of win9x. The other reason are users with outdated Linux distributions ;) [I was going to say the maemo platform but that has gtk+-2.6.x but apparently GLib 2.8.x already.] Hans, do you want small stuff to be discussed in the mailling list first or to be reported as "bug" directly? an example, when moving connector ends, the standard icon is a 4 way arrow which obscures completely the connector making the whole procedure a pain. is that to be discussed here or reported? It depends. More effective than just discussing minor points would be providing patches. And they should definitely go into bugzilla to reduce the probability of being forgotten. An example, having a better cursor (maybe a 'target' less ugly than the one provided by standard X cursors) and a patch to set it at the right places would belong into bugzilla and could be applied quite quickly ;-) Hans Hans "at" Breuer "dot" Org --- Tell me what you need, and I'll tell you how to get along without it.-- Dilbert ___ Dia-list mailing list Dia-list@gnome.org 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
