Hello Mike,

Picking that shape was a good suggestion. What I did was copying cnx.*
to my own set, and setting the circle to "style="fill:none;
stroke:none". This gives it a clickable size and is not visable (I hope
it is always invisable).

Thanks

vwf,

There is probably an interesting technical reason why line ends can
automatically co-locate (usually a limitation in gtk+, statistically, but I
think every Dia user wishes for it.

I am used to lines having a snap to grip at each end with CAD sketchers.

Major problems with line width in export.?..?.

2013-01-24 Thread Chris Damien 
I am using Dia to create flow chart diagrams for an important work project. It 
has been working fine, but I have one major problem. After exporting my 
finished diagram as a pdf, all the line widths that I set seem to reset in 
thickness. Even when I set all line widths to 0.00 and the font size, in each 
object, to 60.88 the lines are still thicker than the text and the words hard 
to read. Please let me know how I can fix this problem so I can include my Dia 
diagrams in my published report. 

Thanks!

I just gave it a try with dia 0.97-2 under Debian Linux, and eps worked
fine (eps with Pango fonts). Cairo-pdf became rather messy becauso if
the diagram size but the linewidth was fine. png anti-aliased worked
fine too. you should be able to save the day by exporting to a working
format and importing it in any dtp system that can produce the desired
pdf output.

If you need to get on with it, you can always get nice looking images by
making a screen dump (ctrl-Print Screen in Picasa), cropping it down, and
saving as a jpg.

Sorry, I can't actually help you with the problem itself.  Hopefully,
someone else will chime in.

Re: @ Tom Harding - enhance misc:tree

Hi,

(my first post here: I _like_ Dia... a lot!)

I'm looking to use the dynamic 'tree' shape/object in a plumbing 
schematic but would welcome a bit more control over its properties. At 
the moment the only configurable property is the line colour, and I'd 
like to set (at least) the line width - so I've been reading through 
your C code (tree.c) and trying to see if I can spot where I would 
need to add some code.


I'm not too hot at C, but am prepared to give it a go - before I 
start, I was wondering if would you be able to make an estimate of 
whether it's a relatively small bit of work (<30 lines of code)?


All my apologizes : I'm not an exeperienced C programer and misc/tree is 
just a hack from network/ethernet bus !


However some scalable nodes ("..", ".","/.directory", "/directory" 
(including / for last)) should be added too to complete a true 
"filesystems" sheet.

Good guess for the line width property and a single shape. See 
http://git.gnome.org/browse/dia/commit/?id=9456d85b57fb413bd54904eba22f70bd73d76893 
for an example.

adding configurable line-width for UML elements.


Any pointers welcome...
