As Dia is a Vector Graphics appliction I dont tend to think of Pixels very often. I always use the grid for alignment and layout so I didn't notice the absense of pixel information. I wouldn't want the rulers any chunkier than they already are but it seems like it would be a good idea to see about adding the cursor position to the status bar (please file an enhancement request in bugzilla*). > 2) When an object is selected, certain aggregate information would be > nice to have in the status bar; namely length of lines or area of the > bounding boxes of objects. If you are a programmer and want to help add such functionality then Patches are very welcome. - Alan * http://bugzilla.gnome.org/ _______________________________________________ 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
