CVS of 2002-04-19 crashes

Hi, maybe I did sth. stupid, but I'm not able to start dia. I get the splash screen and than the crash, because menu_item_list is NULL, the first time sheets_optionmenu_create() is called, but is dereferenced. GDB says: $ DEBUGGER=gdb ./app/run_dia.sh GNU gdb 2002-04-01-cvs ... (gdb) run Start

Export PNG with fixed width?

Hi, I like to export a diagram in PNG format with a specific width, e.g. 400 pixels. Is this possible? I would prefer a command line over interactive usage, like $ dia foo.dia --export=foo.png --width=400 or sth. like that. Thanks in advance! Cheers! ___

How to use the PointArray property

Hallo, I'm writing a new plugin for dia. I have defined a type Condition derived from Connection, which has two "normal" handles, and more handles can be added and removed by the user via the object menu. This is similar to network/bus.c, but I like to save the positions of the additional handl

XFig vs. dia 5:1

Hi, while I like dia more than XFig because of it's cool GTK+ GUI, there are some features I miss desperately. Maybe I just don't know, how to use dia rightly: 1. Hatches: XFig has all kind of lines and other patterns to fill shapes with. In many cases this is better than using colours,

Generic all-purpose text-box?

Hi, I'm looking for an all-purpose text-box, but didn't find one. The standard one in dia has optionally round corners, fill colour, line colour, line width, line style, but is missing multiline text and multiple connection points. I tried other boxes, like SADT box, but there I cannot change e

Dia and GObject

Hi, just a general questions: As I understand, Object (lib/object.h) is not derived from GObject. Why? Same for other things like DiaMenu. Thanks for any explanation! Cheers! ___ Dia-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/

Restricting possible connections

Hi, I think about writing a new dia module, where certain objects can be connected only to certain others. (How) can I disallow connections between arbitrary objects? I.e. I have object types A, B, and C - while connections between A-B and A-C are allowed, but B-C should not be possible. Many t

Dia "project" support

Hi, are there any plans to enhance dia to support diagrams that are belonging together? I.e. having a kind of "project" tree and allowing hyperlinks from objects to other diagrams? If dia were a bonobo component it could be embedded into an existing framework (anjuta?). Cheers!
