Hi Andrey
I have run into issues with dia in the past where the resulting diagrams look "funny" because I cannot make connections between objects where I want the connections to be.
If I remember correctly, dia tends to increase the size of objects when it needs to to fit text. It would be helpful just to be able to set the size of the object and to turn off auto-resizing.
I tried creating multi-page objects like those in the uml page and was not able to. I believe that these were hard coded. It would be very helpful to be able to build one's own custom shapes that are sophisticated.
All the best . . .

If you want dynamic shapes, then yes, plugin API could be improved. -- With best regards, Andrey Repin Thursday, December 6, 2018 13:49:25 Sorry for my terrible english... _______________________________________________ dia-list mailing list dia-list gnome org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list FAQ at http://live.gnome.org/Dia/Faq Main page at http://live.gnome.org/Dia |
