Go to the "electric" symbols and find the crossed-wire terminator dot. Use this at the end and/or start of a line to make a node that can be resized and can be used to terminate lines or symbols. Other things will snap to this node symbol.

Did you zoom in e.g. to 800% in order to scale? Did you turn off "snap to grid"? What exactly are the problem to scale it down to an appropriate size? I just tried with the "Perfect Circle" shape from the Assorted sheet, and could scale it down nicely to fit with a 0.1 cm wide line. Did you also try to "scale up" your other elements to overcome problems with "scaling down" the node? When you say, "node not centered", did you use the central, "main connection point" for the circle shape?Yes, I would like to split a line at an intersection point. To visualize this point, there should occur a node. From this node, the splitting begins and one line goes horizontally to the right, the other line goes vertically down.That's a functionality I could imagine to be performed by a Python script. How important is this functionality to you? Isn't it possible for you to draw the node first and then connect the lines? Are you able to run Dia Python plugins? Are you looking for a sample diagram that resembles the examples that you've posted?In this example, you can see, what kind of a connection node is meant: http://www.texample.net/tikz/examples/signal-flow-building-blocks/ ( 1st of 4 pictures, lower part, "filled" node)Regards,Regards, Steffen _______________________________________________ dia-list mailing list dia-list gnome org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list FAQ at http://live.gnome.org/Dia/Faq Main page at http://live.gnome.org/Dia |
