AW: dia is great but ...

2001-01-26 Thread Bernhard . Hammelmann

That feature is standard look and feel and 
now usual in many applications, i.e. Paint shop pro

There is no need to complicate the usability of dia
if we know a practical solution.

I wood expect that it will be implemented.

I don't like that. They are not the same.

Additional Problem with DIA-diagrams: Error on scaling

2000-11-26 Thread Bernhard . Hammelmann

Last week I wrote that the Adobe-plugin
cannot correctly interpret the generated SVG-format from DIA.

Once again I ask if someone uses a better version than my 
(Adobe SVG Viewer 2.0 Beta Release 1, Build 22) or another plugin for
SVG-grafics.

Here is an example DIA SVG-file that was originally generated from the also
attached source with DIA 0.85 on WIN32 
(but the DIA 0.86 LINUX-Version produces the same output):

The Internet Explorer with newest Adobe SVG-plugin shows the diagram 
only may be with 1% of real size and the shapes background are black
as described last week.

Wrong scaled diagrams seems to appear with more complex elements like the
example in attachment, because I have also exported a simple diagram with
only
one rectangle that was correctly displayed in browser.

AW: Problem with SVG-Export Format

2000-11-24 Thread Bernhard . Hammelmann

Dear Mr. James Henstridge,

thanks for your replay.

I now understand that the output from DIA 
seems to be korrekt, thats fine.

But there is still the problem, and the Adobe-Plugin
cannot interpret it korrectly.
Do you know if ADOBE works on that bugfix.

How the DIA-Software is tested, because somebody must
have recognized this inkompatibility-problem before me.
May be someone has already informed ADOBE or how can I do this ?

Why not?  The first line should be producing a filled rectangle (with no
border), and the second should be producing the outline (with no
fill).  Is it doing something different with the SVG plugin?  From my
reading of the SVG spec, what we do should be fine.

The reason that two elements are written for this is that Dia's rendering
model separates out drawing the filled rectangle and the outline.

James.

Problem with SVG-Export Format

2000-11-24 Thread Bernhard . Hammelmann

We have just tried to export a simple test-diagram and have found
an error occuring the shapes background that are ever black:

The following example was originally generated by DIA 0.85 on WIN32.
See the wrong background colour (use Microsoft Explorer 5.5 with the newest
Adobe SVG-Plugin):


http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/svg-19991203.dtd">

  
  
  Hallo


The Problem is in line 4 because the fill-attribute has no effect here
( the remaining rect-attributes are also redundant in line 4 and 5).

The solution is the following modified example:


http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/svg-19991203.dtd">

  
  Hallo


The fill-attribute is moved to the style attribute list in the next line and
line 4 from above was deleted.

Our question to the DIA-development team:
Is that a known problem and when (in which DIA Release) this problem will be
fixed ?
