To enhance the standard UML components a class should have a checkbox "Interface" to produce a dashed outline. It is not easy to create a class-like shape containing methods and attributes, stereotypes and that.
For sequence diagrams a message should be a zig zag line, so it's possible to draw messages to the object itself (producing a new focus on the old one, these little boxes [on boxes]+ on life lines). At least it is possible to work around this by using a real zig zag line with an triangle arrow and reducing the arrow's width. It's also not possible to create a new focus on an existing lifeline or connect a box to it (grouping, ok, but that's not it, not editable anymore). It's also possible to work around with another life line connected to the same class, putting it into background and so on... At least switch of any text related to UML-Associations until it works properly. Alignment is absolutely dirty and, as said before, no font properties can be changed. If these little things would be done by releasing 1.0 or 0.94 or whatever, including a good documentation, 80 software developers would use this tool at work. I love it, it's so independent and absolutely slim designed, 3 already infected...(discoverd it by updating my SuSE Linux to 9.1) P.S.: I could deliver some better PDF containing bookmarks, a cross-linked TOC and german translation - for free [not really, just fix these little things mentioned before :-) ] _______________________________________________ Dia-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list FAQ at http://www.gnome.org/projects/dia/faq.html Main page at http://www.gnome.org/projects/dia
