Re: Dear Dia developers. Zigzagline not sufficiant

["Rich Says..." <personificator gmail com>]

Sweet! Thats exactly what I was looking for. I'll see what I can hash out by the end of this weekend. Also, what about auto creating connection points when line segments are created, forcing the user to remove them manually when they are removed. That way the autorouting system can destroy the line-to-line connections.
Thanks Lars

The zig-zag line is defined partly in objects/standard/zigzagline.[ch]
and in lib/orth_conn.[ch]. orth_conn defines functionality for all lines
of this type (i.e. also in other sheets) and is where the handling of
adding/removing segments occurs. Note that the autorouting system can
cause segments to appear and disappear frequently. Handling which
segments a line connected to a zigzagline should go to when it changes
like that is ... tricky.
