I've been looking a bit on that too, (Not the code thought). What do
you guys think? Has anyone looked at the API or code?
It might give us rotated text too...
By the way, I'm back home now. So i might get to work some on Dia soon.
My plan is to finish the layer system, and then stabilize (fix all
known bugs), then release 0.30.
By the way, I tested the align function. It is a bit buggy when
aligning objects that are connected. It would also be good if it
could align the borders (left, right, top or bottom) of the bounding
boxes. I'll fix it up some day.
