First off I would like to praise you on an excellent application. I
use it a lot.
Second I would like to see if a small change could be made to enhance
the app just a little. In uml there is a shape called a lifeline. A
good little thing with one exception. Its endpoints do not stick to
stuff. I have attached an example dia(ungzip'd) file. This file
contains two examples. Where the end point of a lifeline does not
stick to a Text object and where the end points of two lifelines do
not stick to each other. It would be great if they did actually stick
to each other.
I guess what you want is something like what's on page 3 of
http://www.objectmentor.com/resources/articles/UMLSequenceDiagrams.pdf
That would be easy to do by adding a connection point at the end. We'd
just need to be careful about handling the adding of more points correctly,
and try to keep it compatible.
It'd be a bit tricker to have a connecting handle (as on lines) in the
other end, as the lifeline is always vertical. I'm not sure how the
adjustment to two connection points would work.
