Is it possible to get the type of an object without using a returned
string (object_get_type)? I want to loop over all the selected objects
and count the number of "connection objects" and the number of "other
normal objects" without having to go through this:
IMO your definition is not really working because:
- even connectors are "normal" objects
- there are "connectors" which are also connectable by connectors,
e.g. "Standard - Line"
- there are objects which I think you would classify as "normal object"
which still can connect: "are connectors" (and are not connectable),
e.g. "Standard - Text"
(pseudo code)
if (objtype == "Standard - Line" || "UML - Generalization" || "UML -
Dependency" || etc...)
If I had to solve this abstract task I would try *very* hard to not do it
type specific but property specific. See "Help/Dia Object Types" (otypes.py
in the Dia distribution) for some heuristic.
But for your task "Auto-Layouting" I think you are not really interested in
the type difference at all but in the objects use. IMHO there is no point
in auto-layouting a "connector" if it is not connecting anything.
So basically you want to modify all connected "connectors" given by
Object.connections[].connected_to
Of course all this is possible in C as well, just more to type.
