Re: Dia in our enterprise



Hi,

 - Dynamic sheets Today, to add a new shape to a sheet, we need to edit
by hand the sheet file. This is very powerfull: almost any shape can be
obtained in this way. However, a simple mecanism to save a diagram into a
shape and place it in a sheet from *inside* dia could be done. This is a
feature present in Visio. One use we had for this is when we draw network
packets: we cut and paste boxes with different gray backgrounds. For the
time being, we keep them on a 'template' diagram.

Saving to a shape is there, it's now just a question of fixing the sheet.
Takes a bit of XML parsing, but it is absolutely doable.

I've started with a sheet manager that allows to customize sheets from within 
dia.
