Thanks very much for that. I came to Dia needing to draw diagrams for a
LaTeX document, and the 0.94 Windows version was incredibly unstable. So, I
ended up installing CoLinux w/ Debian so I could run Dia. I haven't had the
chance to download and compile 0.95-pre1 for CoLinux, but I did install the
new Windows version. So far, it seems to run great. I'll let you know if I
experience any problems that I think are Windows specific.
Is it possible to run Python plugins (group_props.py) in the Windows version
of Dia? Obviously, changing group properties would be very nice.
I am using the MetaPost export functionality. When the diagram is imported
into LaTeX, the font sizes and positions (vertically) are wrong. I can
mostly fix this by scaling the font to be too small in Dia, but that would
be much easier with group_props.py (:
Of course, a better font sizing & positioning routine would be even better.
Is it practical to hack on the MetaPost export routine without setting up a
huge Windows development environment?
Is there anyone in particular that is the 'keeper' of the MetaPost plugin?
Thanks in advance,
Rob
