Hello, In my free time I sometimes design stage lighting schemes (sorry, this may not be the good translation, but I really couldn't fint it), and I would like to do it with Dia, so I'm trying to build the appropriate shapes. Sadly it does not seem to be as easy as I thought.
First I'd like to draw new shapes and submit it to you for integration in future releases. But if I draw a new shape, how do I integrate it in the GUI ? I made a directory shapes/Lights, with test.shape and test.png inside, and the good Makefile.am (I also changed shapes/Makefile.am to integrate the Lights subdir). It seems to work properly. I also wrote Lights.sheet.in. I have Lights in my menu, but it is empty... How can I fill it with my test.shape ? Second, How do I build complex shapes ? I'd like for example to draw something that looks like the and.shape in Logic, but I don't know how to do it : I can't with dia, because if I draw it with different lines, I'm not able to fill the inside with white, and when I open a svg with dia, I can't tell him to hide the white inside or not, and I can do that with built-in shapes, so there are certainly differences. Do I have to learn the shape language, or is there a miraculous trick I didn't find ? There is a problem in the svn version, autoreconf does not work properly due to an error in the declaration of ALL_LINGUAS line 256 of configure.in. To fix it you just have to ad " \" at the end of line 256 and 257. Thank you in advance for you aswers, -- Elie _______________________________________________ Dia-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list FAQ at http://live.gnome.org/Dia/Faq Main page at http://live.gnome.org/Dia
