Hi, dia native format is XML. So you can either use dia format, either use your own format and transform it with an XSL transformation sheet. This is quite easy to realize.
However dia does not have layout engine. It means you will have to tell dia where to put the elements. Adding a layout engine to dia is certainly a very exciting project, if you want to have a go! luc On Mon, 2005-01-10 at 14:12 -0800, Murtaza Chiba wrote: > To explain a little further, here is what I had in mind. > > <device> > <name>Myswitch</name> > <type>switch</type> > <interface> > <name>Fe0/0</name> > <ipAddress>x.x.x.x</ipAddress> > <subnet>y.y.y.y</subnet> > </interface> > </device> > > This would give me a block like below > > +++++++++++++++++++ > + + Fe0/0 x.x.x.x/y bits > + +_____________ > + MySwitch + > +++++++++++++++++++ > > Some sort of similar simple language to connect other devices and > console.
