Okay, I did a quick sample of http://www.bpmn.org/Samples/Chip%20Design.GIF and you can see it here http://ffem.org/~anthonym/dia/ChipDesign.png. This needs dia 0.94 in order to get backslash arrows and rounded corner zigzaglines. > If you can provide the necessary makefiles and other work to make your > shape set translatable that will help speed things along too.

If you want to poke at the shape set before I get this done, I have a tar here http://ffem.org/~anthonym/dia/BPMN-0.4.0.tar.gz > > The question I have with this is, how do I get my PNGs to look > > as nice as those in the other shape sets? > > Tedious and meticulous hand editing. > I used the exported screenshtos only as a guide and essentially redrew > them one pixel at a time (using MSPaint of all things, only using other > software for the PNG conversion and addition of transparency). Hmm, I'll have to look around for some tools, I did notice gnome-iconedit which might allow me to touch them up.
