newgroup.c is close to being finished, but I'm not working on it ATM. So unless someone else picks it up, waiting for it to be finished would be a long wait. I'm not sure how the DiaContainerObject would differ from the object used in newgroup.c. Notice that newgroup.c fixes another problem with the current group system: It doesn't remove objects from the diagram. The current group system does, which causes it to break connections leading out of the group. -Lars _______________________________________________ dia-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list FAQ at http://live.gnome.org/Dia/Faq Main page at http://live.gnome.org/Dia
