One of the intended uses is to let UML stuff be entered directly in the diagram -- by letting the object know when editing starts and ends, it can do things like putting <<>> around the text when it's not being edited. It can also let text fields limit the characters allowed or check syntax. I just haven't gotten around to using it in any text yet, nor adding it to text edit guts -- mostly because those guts have had a lot of fixing coming to them for a while. -Lars _______________________________________________ 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
