If anyone is interested in writing import filters, you may want to look at the unfinished DXF import filter that Steffen Macke has been working on. It currently only does straight lines. To test it, just compile the latest CVS and try loading the test file: dia plug-ins/dxf/test.dxf As it uses the properties interfaces, it does not need to know about the internal layout of the standard drawing objects in dia.

It is good to see that the patches are getting smaller :) With the last problem, it is just by chance that it actually worked under X. The color_gdk_white and color_gdk_black GdkColor's were created under the default colormap, while the pixmap we are using for the font sucking is a one bit pixmap. Pixel values are not portable across colormaps. So I fixed this problem by hard coding the pixel values to 0 and 1. > > Have Fun, > Hans James. -- Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW: http://www.daa.com.au/~james/

For the past few months, the CVS version of libart has been out of synch with the released gnome-libs, so the configure test will not find libart correctly (although dia will be able to use it). Just pass the --disable-libarttest argument to configure. James. -- Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW: http://www.daa.com.au/~james/
PNG Export
Hi, I want to be able to export to PNG so I have installed the package gdk-pixbuf, but now my configuration says it needs Libart. What is Libart and where can I get it? I'm trying to build this on a RH 6.1 system. Here is the configuration information I get: Configuration: Source code location: . Compiler: gcc Use gdk-pixbuf: yes Libart (AA rendering, png export): no Gnome support: no Build bonobo component (not supported): no Thanks. -Jeff
