Dia 0.88.1: Problems with exporting to xfig

2001-06-12 Thread Cyrille Artho
Hi, when exporting dia drawings to xfig, rectangles with rounded corners get broken up into lines and arcs. I had used the "Flowchart - Box" item to get rectangles with rounded corners which can also have text inside them. The same happens for standard rectangles. While I understand that this is t

Shapes layout proposal

2001-06-12 Thread John Palmieri
Well, I was racking my head for a simple algorithm that could be used for layouts involving dynamic shapes (ie UML shapes that "grow" when data is placed in them). I hadn't realized how simple the algorithm could be. First off I must introduce the concept of a container shape. Container shapes w

Well the whole point of putting everything in XML is that there is a consistent scripting interface (the DOM) and XML separates the logic from the data. Hard coding only allows access to API's that the developer thought of including. Sure you can create an object model so that all objects created
