Re: Patch for a new feature : sozi

Hi

Here is progression of the sozi integration.

According to the previous comments :

OK -> there was bugs in transformation calculus. It should be ok now (for the three implementations).

OK -> i removed the interactive text edition
But i keep an option for enable/disable the display of the legend and the ability to format it.
It still remain some problems about this point...

OK

OK

What is "serialisation" ? Is it saving to the dia format ?

OK -> when adding a frame automatically find the last frame number available, and manage the sequence ordering

NOK -> i haven't work on this point yet.

Now i need help for the legend : i would like to keep a way to visualize the frame sequence... but here are 
my questions :
 - should we really display something ? (i think yes)
 - what should we display : sequence number, title, both ? (i actually display both)
 - placement : inside, outside ? (i can't find any good idea for this point)
 - size : dynamic resizing ?


I put my code here : git://gitorious.org/dia_sozi/dia_sozi.git :sozi branch.
I had some problems with git and i had to delete/create the branch. I will try to stay on this one for my 
future work.

I hope to read you soon.

Regards.

Paul.
