Hello again Please bare with me, I am starting to use Dia and finding various places, where it behaves not quite as I would expect it to... So, on pressing File->Plugins it segfaults (CVS-snapshot of 23.04.02). Next, I am pretty sure there's a way to change Dia's default parameters, like line t

Ok, it's all in lib/attributes.c... Can't (and shouldn't) we have them in diarc? Also, the "trace" I reported before is visible only when using large scaling factors (starting with 283%) and is left by any "thich" object. And, ohh, you can't change line widths of UML object-lines / errows... Gu

spacing around text ...

2002-04-24 Thread Peter Sojan
Hi! By including my dia-diagrams (as eps) into my latex documents, I recognized that the centering of my pictures is something weird. After further investigation I found out, that there seems to be an invisible box around text in dia which defines the outer border of that text-element. The pro

further investigation shows, that the extra spacing occurs only horizontally and you can also see this extra space when working with shapes which take text (for example simple flowchart element). The space (which is quite large) remains even if I set textpadding=0 for such shapes. As far as I
