Re: Line Endings

Hi!

I was just wondering whether dia would offer the possibility
of choosing crow's foot notation. Another thing that the lines
could support is role identifiers. These are essentially labels
which can be attached to lines in the case of relationships
where an entity set participates more than once. For example
there could be a People entity set and an Employs relationship
set acting as a binary relationship from People to People. In
this case since People participates twice we have to lable the
connecting lines with identifiers such as employer and employee.

Best Regards,

Neil
