Re: Text associated to BezierLines



Kilo,

Thanks for the tip. I tried out the "generalization, class inheritance" object in UML, and it seems to do about what I want it to -- except it sure would be nice if the BezierLine had text. There's nothing quite like bending and curving the line where you want it to go.

Hi Tim

why don't you use UML's Association for that purpose?

- it is a line
- it has a name attribute
- it has role attributes for both ends
- it has multiplicity attributes for both ends

Lots of properties to use imho.

I'm wanting to use Dia for creating event-driven state diagrams and
use the resulting XML to generate code.  I find the UML class object
to be good for describing states, but I need to have the connecting BezierLines have text associated with them in order to represent event
paths.  The properties box for BezierLines do not have a field for
text, nor is text associated with the lines on the diagram.

Does anyone know of a more appropriate line object that will provide associated text? If not, are there any plans to add text to line properties? How hard would that be to do?
