But I could still make it work by writing objects in code for upstream adoption, rather than just using the customs shapes objects. Just choosing the right licence and offering a 'patch' should do the trick, right? This sheet would then be present in the object directory. > Please be aware that the UML - Class object is the last thing you should > use as an example.

I guess it would have been specified somewhere in the code in XML.

That is unfortunate, since it would straighten-out shape definitions. I guess just adjusting all upstream shapes wouldn't be sufficient since users might have custom shapes to work with. > Sketching the desired shapes with an annotated diagram looks like a good > basis for discussion. Great, I'll head to the library of the university soon. Thanks again. Nico Rikken
