Hi Cyrille!
Le dim, sep 02, 2001, à 05:41:07 +0200, Abraham van der Merwe a écrit:So for instance I have 10 dia files. They all should be converted to xfig format (.fig), and they should use a 30% scale. I want something like this: for F in *.dia do dia --scale 30 --export-format=fig $F doneActually, --export-format (or -x for short) would be extremely useful to implement #58197. I don't really see the point of --scale, but that's because I never write "documents" with dia, only "figures" which I then embed into documents, whose document processor is smart enough to handle scaling itself (but I understand that it would be useful to some).
--scale is very important to me. The reason for this is that I use dia to make figures that I embed in latex documents. The problem is that by default, if I convert dia -> eps (or fig), the figure doesn't fit on a page (and even if it did, it would still be to big). So what I end up doing is for each document, I go and setup the scale to 30% and then export it (actually I first export it to xfig format and then convert it to eps otherwise dia use some weird fonts which most people complain about). This is a tedious process which could really be speeded up by just having a command-line option. -- Regards Abraham Why would anyone want to be called "Later"? ___________________________________________________ Abraham vd Merwe [ZR1BBQ] - Frogfoot Networks P.O.
