stroke-width
I'm a Dia newbie using Windows. AIA. Is there a mechanism for shapes to inherit an adjusted stroke-width? At this point I'd just like the drawings to print with finer lines. I have tried a few things without seeming to change anything. I was hoping there might be some preferences or similar I could adjust. As an alternative, I am looking at group_props.py but it fails to imort dia.py. Google reveals a few dia.py results but none are apparently Dia related. Thanks for any hints.

No, shapes are basically little drawings with particular stroke widths. Since nobody's had the time to implement generic scaling in Dia, there's no way to really change the widths from inside Dia. We could conceivably add something similar to what we can do for colors which have "foreground" and "background" colors defined as taken from the toolbox, but my time right now is strictly limited to the new group system and (another attempt at) better font scaling. > As an alternative, I am looking at group_props.py but it fails to imort > dia.py.

It appears from the all python scripts shown on the website, that there must be a module called dia.py. Maybe Hans can indicate where it can be found? I have downloaded the latest snapshot (21 Aug) and cannot find any trace of it. Perhaps it has been renamed?

Take a look at the Links page on the Dia homepage http://www.gnome.org/projects/dia/, there's a number of tools that generate Dia diagrams from all manner of things. Particularly interesting is probably SchemeMania http://www.schemamania.org/, which while it's not itself ready to use, has a bunch more links and ideas for similar projects. -Lars ___ 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
Re: libpng13.dll - windows error
Hi, > cant find libpng13.dll > > any ideas? libpng13.dll is part of GTK+ 2.8, which is what we are advising to run Dia for Windows 0.95-1 with. If you have problems with this, I can send you the DLL separately or you can download it e.g. through the libpng distribution from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/libpng.htm Regards, Steffen ___ 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

There needs to be a module called 'dia' to somehow make dia functionality accessible to Python. It has always been this way, but it is not 'dia.py'. The Dia's Python bindings are written in C, the source code is in plug-ins/python. Under windows it is compiled to dia.pyd; under *NIX it is build if: ./configure --with-python; make; make install > Maybe Hans can indicate where it can be > found?

I was looking for dia.py and missed it. Does anybody build Dia python bindings for Windows? Unfortunately I have no experience compiling C in Windows. Maybe it is time I learned. Could you point me at a how-to suitable for the tools you require? Would I need to compile the entire suite at the same time? If so, and if I decided to stick with Dia would I need to keep in touch with CVS so I could repeat the process in future?

Re: libpng13.dll - windows error
Thanks Steffen. I gave in held my breath and installed the lates GTK all went well Dia is working and other things didnt break :) BTW the windows install was a bit strange. If I accepted the default dir it installed fine but If I used browse to install it somewhere else it crashed hanging on the dir list box. I eventually typed the pathname on the command line box and it again installed fine.
