That does sound like what Dia does. > Your product looks interesting. Can it do the following (or be easily > extended) > - > > a) Use svg gradients to fill the shapes Cannot currently be done. Adding it would require adding the interface to control the gradients as well as extending the renderes to support it. While I don't believe there's anything deeply complicated about it, there would be some amount of work involved. > b) Stop users from changing the size of the shapes > c) Hide the basic shapes toolbox > d) Hide the basic properties grid Are these three together intended to be a 'view-only' version, or a version where you can examine the diagram and edit only a subset? While each change could probably be done fairly easily, knowing the intention behind them would allow for better solutions. And I'm not sure what you refer to as the 'basic properties grid'. > e) Display an optional extended properties grid e.g. label Not sure what you mean here. > f) Redraw the connections as shapes are repositioned That is already there, that's one of Dia's main functionalities. > > PS I might be able to do some of the coding required That would probably be necessary, us maintainers are already spending all the time we can on other matters.

Could you provide us with a PNG or GIF version? -Lars _______________________________________________ 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
