Re: PGF export

[momo <momomaniac gmail com>]

Hi Kien,

I wrote that export plugin a long time ago and I find it quite cool that  
you are using it again.

It's been a while, so I don't remember very well the rationale for some  
design decisions.

I like that escape sequence for tex $...$, thanks.

Unfortunately, I don't remember why all text is left aligned, maybe it was  
just left out in the first version.

For the unitlength stuff, I included this setting du=15/unitlength at the  
very beginning to be able to easily scale the diagram manually in the tex  
source if things are not displayed nicely. I chose 15/unitlength-to get  
something with a useable size right at the beginning, for most cases (?)
A dialog would be a great thing, however I don't know if there is any  
global philosophy for dia interfaces and if an extra export dialog matches  
this philosophy. An other way to go would be to introduce a coupling with  
page settings and dpi settings (just an idea).

So 2 questions for me (to the great masters of dia):
-is it a good idea to introduce a dialog for the scaling of the exported  
file?
-is it possible to couple it with a page resolution setting in print  
options???

best regards, Moritz
