I wonder of "autorouting" patch status.

It has been posted here a while ago (3 years?) by someone as a part of
his graduate thesis.

Feature was: shapes was automatically dispatched regularly while line
and connection points
remained attached to them, then you could move the whole just by click
and point one shape
-- and the batch were moved together then re-dispatch, or manually place
one shape same
as Dia habits.

Do you maybe have a link to the mailing list post in case?

I wonder of "autorouting" patch status.

It has been posted here a while ago (3 years?) by someone as a part of
his graduate thesis.

Feature was: shapes was automatically dispatched regularly while line
and connection points
remained attached to them, then you could move the whole just by click
and point one shape
-- and the batch were moved together then re-dispatch, or manually place
one shape same
as Dia habits.

Some version of the patch is in bugzilla:
http://bugzilla-attachments.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=120443

And the most recent update from Fred AFAICT was:
https://mail.gnome.org/archives/dia-list/2009-January/msg0.html
(just found a moment ago)

Apparently I somehow lost track in the fall 2008 ;)

For someone interested in autolayout integration with Dia maybe the Layout 
plug-in started 2011 would be a better starting point:

Hi Hans, nice to meet you here again !

It seems you still worked on on September... a secret new feature or 
just an experiment?


I pinned out, will build  this w/e.

All I can do is to track changes on patch time to time then test on 
Debian/wheezy and  strace/ltrace.


Unsure what I could find.

I hope it would build on last release branch :)

TSFH

Hi Hans, nice to meet you here again !


Dito.

Not sure yet ;) Some of the algoritms implemented in OGDF are crashing 
depending on the diagram given. I was not able to find a reliable pattern 
yet, so I'm uncertain how to handle it for a release version.

A lot of new things - some things more hidden (or unfinished) than others.

If by "last release branch" you mean master it should do - I'm uncertain if 
it is working though. IIRC I had some start-up crashes introduced by the 
updated OGDF library on Linux.
Also AFAIK OGDF http://www.ogdf.net is not packaged by standard Linux 
distributions so the build integration is a bit rough at the moment. See 
http://git.gnome.org/browse/dia/tree/plug-ins/layout/readme.txt for details.
