Re: labeling lines

[Michael Ross <michael e ross gmail com>]

Nicholas,

You must be unfamiliar with open source software development - that is to say, voluntary development.

You should be grateful there is any software at all because you have paid nothing, and you have contributed nothing (except a bad odor at this point).

In answer to your question, there are no line labels because of the thousands of people who use it and write the the code, not a one felt this was an important enough feature (compared to others) to write it in to the system.  You can, if you like, position a bit of text over a line any time you like.  So there is a dependable workaround.

There are two ways to get a new feature, write it yourself, or make good case for it.  The second requires intelligence, politeness, a persuasive nature, and perhaps a sense of humor.  You might go for the first since all the characteristics of the second may be unavailable to you.

Good luck with that,

M

Hi,

 

Just a simple question:

 

-          How is it possible that a software to make flowchart doesn’t allow for simply labeling of connection lines???

 

Thanks and Best Regards,

Nicolas.
