Sounds like you are talking about an API for generating .dia files. Since .dia files are (optionally gzipped) XML files, there is no code-based API as such. A number of programs generate .dia files, see the page <URL:http://live.gnome.org/Dia/Links> under "Tools that generate Dia diagrams" for some examples. Any XML generator will work, and there are DTDs available in the doc directory of the source. -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
