Adding shapes to dia
Hello, I'm new to the list and I have not found an answer to my question using google, sorry. So here it comes. Is there a detailed tutorial on how to add sheets/shapes to dia? This is my problem: I like to add/change a sheet to the dia core. So I copied the SADT.sheet.in to mySADT.sheet.in and the SADT sub-dir to mySADT. Changed the file names "box.c" to "mybox.c" Changed the references to the SADT shapes into mySADT shapes (mySADT - fbox). Changed the library reference (libmysadt_objects.la) Changed the objects/Makefile.am Changed the sheets/Makefile.am Added "objects/mySADT/makefile to AC_OUTPUT in configure.in Now if I run ./autogen.sh, ./configure and make all is fine (no errors). If I start Dia (./app/run_dia.sh ) Dia runs as expected. I can even see me sheet (mySADT) BUT there are no shapes visible. I can not select anything. What am I missing? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Re: Adding shapes to dia
Hello Thimo, Yes please. If you can send me the draft version that would be great, maybe I can even add my experience to it ;-) Thanks.

Help needed on UML Shape change (state.c)
Hello all, I'm trying to make a new copy of the state shape from the UML sheet. I have managed to create my own sheet and my own shapes using some copy-past techniques and the draft tutorial from Thimo Langbehn. So far so good. I managed to change the line colour of the "state.c" shape (now called mystate.c). Now I would like to change to position of the connection points in my copied shape (mystate.c) but I don't get it to work. Simply replacing the function call in line 393: 392: /* Update connections: */ 393: element_update_connections_rectangle(elem, state->connections); with my own function doesn't do the trick. I have no clue where to start looking. If I look at other shapes e.g. "box.c" they are implemented differently so I kinda got lost. My aim is to move the connection points at the corners more closer to the center points. Does anyone have an idea where I should look/start? Thanks, Robert. ___ dia-list mailing list dia-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list FAQ at http://live.gnome.org/Dia/Faq Main page at http://live.gnome.org/Dia
Adding a line style to box.c (SADT/IDEF)
Hello, I'm trying to add a line style (Dashed) attribute to the box.c shape of the SADT sheet. I tried to use the diamond.c from the flowchart as a reference but I can't get it to work. If I double-click on the shape I can't select the line style attribute. As I understand the structure of Dia I only need to change the box.c file, right? As you see from the picture attached, I managed to add a source identified attribute to the properties menu but I can't make the line style attribute appear. Any hint's ? Thanks a lot.

Sorry forgot to add the code. Here it is.
In all the code I have check I never come across the PROP_FLAG_VISIBLE.
Thanks for your help.

Look at some change which works (not linestyle but color, though):

Re: Adding a line style to box.c (SADT/IDEF)
Hello,
I have asked this before but somehow the discussion came to an end. So
I'll try again.
I'm trying to add a line style (Dashed) attribute to the box.c shape of
the SADT sheet.
I tried to use the diamond.c from the flowchart as a reference but I
can't get it to work.
If I double-click on the shape I can't select the line style attribute.
Hans, I have looked at the examples you have given me but I can't find
the error I'm making.
I like to extent my knowledge up to a point I can contribute to Dia. So
any help is greatly appreciated.
I added the code I tried.
In all the code I have check I never come across the PROP_FLAG_VISIBLE.
Thanks for your help.
Regards, Robert

Re: Adding a line style to box.c (SADT/IDEF)
I'm uncertain if this should go into the offical Dia version, though.
At least to me modifying the line style of SADT boxes looks quite
arbitrary. Also the part you did not mention yet ("sourceid") does not
fit my current model of SADT box [3]
Hello Hans,
I'll look into your suggestions tomorrow but I like to respond to your
comment above right away.
It is not my intention to contribute these modifications to the SADT
boxes into the official Dia version. I'm using the SADT shapes to get a
better understanding of how Dia works and I personally need these
modifications in a project I'm working on.
As soon as I have more experience with shapes and sheets I would like to
start a new sheet/shape library or what ever it's called in Dia.
So please bear with me. Thanks.
Robert.

GTK difference git and 0.97.3 release
Hello List, Sorry for the cryptic subject. I have been trying to recompile dia from git but I get a real big difference in the dialog/properties windows (e.g table from the database sheet) between the git-compiled and the 0.97.3-compiled executable. When I recompile from the released 0.97.3 tarball I get a really nice small checkbox [] for the boolean variables. But when I recompile from git I get a big ugly on/off button in my properties dialog widget for the same boolean variables. My impression is that usually the git version has the more advanced options, so I must be doing something wrong. Question: how do I compile from git and still get the nice small checkboxes in the properties widget? Any help is greatly appreciated.

It is easy to setup an attributes dialog. I compiled my existing code using the 0.97 code but to be able to edit an attribute more work is needed. So yes it is simplified but the visual appearance is not that nice. Is this work in progress or absolutely no priority at the moment? Second reason to use the master is that I may add my work to the dia repository if it is finished (and good enough). Thanks, Robert.

[dia-git]: table attributes, bug?
Hello list, While working with the sources I stumbled on, what I think is, a bug It is easy to reproduce: - open dia (compiled from git) - select a table from the database sheet - double click it (or goto properties) - select attributes - add an attribute, click apply. Now you have a table with an attribute. Than the bug: - click remove -> the attribute disappears in the dialog screen - click apply -> nothing happens - click OK -> nothing happens Basically the last attribute can not be deleted. If you have more attributes you can delete all but the last one. Any thoughts on where to look for the bug/solution?
