Re: General usage of the Dia tool

[Michael Ross <michael e ross gmail com>]

I do not use this feature, but python is used and people do very extensive work with this - even as far as creating data base structures from the Dia.  If you look through the archives and at the Bugzilla, you will turn up all sorts of things.

If you ask the question - how can I programmatically command Dia and how can Dia programmatically command other softwares? What has been done?  What is potentially possible? You may get a broader answer.

Surely, someone that knows more than I will reply.

Hi all,

Please excuse me If this issue has already been spoken about previously. I did try searching upon this topic but failed to find something and so this post.

I have been trying to figure out if the Dia tool is based only on the GUI or if there is an option to code whatever diagram we want and use the Dia tool to generate diagrams by giving the required code as input.

Could you please tell me what kind of code is supported if this feature is available and what the syntax for creation would and also how to run them from command line.

I would be grateful if you could help me out with this or you can even guide me to any post or link that talks about the same.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Sarath
