My proposal (Was: Shapes layout proposal)

2001-06-14 Thread Andre Kloss

Andre, that is exactly what we want to add. Ok, well here is a new proposal that should make most people happy for the time being. All the SVG extensions will be handled by a new shape code and will not effect the core of dia. I think the SVG stuff is handled by the generic shape. Am I correct
