Re: Re: Custom shape similar to Resizable - Grid

[Michael Ross <michael e ross gmail com>]

Dear YaoYuan,

I keep a Dia for storing grouped entities that I want to use again, but have not created a shape for them.

You can all up the storage Dia, or start a new  Dia, then copy and paste between them.  If you copy you grid as you like it into another Dia then you can go get it anytime, and you will not need to reset its size.

That require to modify the source code, right? It would be better if I can
write a ".shape" file or python script, etc, as long as I don't have to
touch the source code.

Hello,

I am new to Dia. I want to define a shape similar to "Resizable - Grid" so
that I can create it with some paramete. Is there a way to do this?

I'm not aware of any object "Resizable - Grid" in standard Dia, but assume
you are refering to the object from the Misc sheet with the type name
"Misc - Grid".
The object behavior is defined with C in the file
https://git.gnome.org/browse/dia/tree/objects/Misc/grid_object.c

There is a mechanism to pass one creation paramter from the sheet to
programmed objects. It is up to the object implementation to interpret
that creation parameter, so the change you intend almost certainly
involves writing some code.
