Ok, i have been able to see the xml. But check for this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <dia:diagram xmlns:dia="http://www.lysator.liu.se/~alla/dia/";> <dia:diagramdata> The page mentioned redirects to the old dia page, and the old dia page redirects to the new one. The dia that i have usaed is one of the sample, but resaving it as an uncompressed xml havent changed the URL. --------------- I think that it will be better in the future to adopt a format like ODT, i mean: - A .dia file should be a tar.gz file or LZMA. (like ODT) - There should be multiple folders on it, the main one called diagram and maybe also a "thumbnail" and an "attached" for attached objects like pictures. - Inside the diagram folder should be placed all the individual shapes - The main shape should be called "main.shape.xml" and this is the starting file that the program should open. - Each shape describe the connections between other shapes or basic SVG figures like lines, squares, circles, etc. and the external connection points. - Each object (shape instance) should have (like in a DOM) a shapename or class, a unique id and childs (lines, circles, squares, other shapes, etc.). - Each object (shape instance) should have global properties (for the entire sheet) and individual properties (for overwriting properties per object), maybe both can be done with a CSS file. - The DOM and CSS should be available for scripted languages to change some properties dinamically. - Shapes should have some on-mouse-over and on-clic events support, for any script to use it. - Shapes should have some functionality to have a real word measured size, a fixed scale. (It could be just a property). Also of course it have to be implemented as a widget-viewer and a model (like in GtkTreeView). Then multiple programs can use the same widget to draw specific kind of diagrams. I will like to see some day a LabView clone (visual programming) and a good Electronic Schematics/PCB software using it, maybe also an AutoCAD clone, see Abiword/OOo using it to draws its lines over the paper, etc. But maybe is too much work to do and wont ever be available. :( 2008/6/12 Maciej Jaros <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Dnia 2008-06-12 01:47 osoba przedstawiająca się jako Diego Jacobi napisała: > >> Where is the info describing the dia format? >> >> It is the same as a shape? >> >> It would be nice, the shape being the same thing as a diagram. >> > diagram is made out of shapes, but dia file doesn't contain shape > definitions...
