Re: Seminar on Dia
Hi, there. You're certainly doing some cool stuff there. I'm just now sitting here writing my diploma thesis on visual/graphical Programming and what you describe in your mail (besides an Compiler or Interpreter) is everything you need for a graphical language. Since we're obviously working in the same direction, a) How far have you come by now? Can you email me your code? and b) How can I help you? cu Andre -- while (!asleep()) sheep++;
Re: (Was: How to create shapes on the fly?)
Hi again. Thanks for your brief answer. But I'm facing a problem with it, since my version of Dia has no such option like select->group. Am I blind? Or do you use the latest CVS snapshot? (I am not root here...too bad...) Or do you mean this option is hidden at another place of the program but the menu? cu Andre -- GOTO statement considered harmful -- E. W. Dijkstra
(Was: How to create shapes on the fly?)
Hi, folks. I think dia doesn't need to provide the creation of shapes in runtime, but making a group selection persistent in order to allow c&p and other methods on a semantical group of objects while keeping the group in memory, and hey, a simple or even tag would not hurt the dia format too much - since the older versions would just ignore such a tag. I don't even talk of xlink usage here ;) cu Andre -- To iterate is human, to recurse divine -- Unknown
Re: Dia - UML XMI saving
Hi, there. I'm working on a graphical programming language that should be embedded into UML. Since XMI is the de-facto-standard for representation used by many tools, I have chosen to use an extended set of XMI as main representation. Now I search tools that are able to create XMI, and I'd greatly appreciate if you'd tell me how to tweak dia to do it ;) btw, XMI Export would increase dia's interoperability quite a lot. cu Andre Kloss -- Whom computers would destroy, they must first drive mad. -- Unknown
