That did the trick. Now I am stuck on a way to update the image with all
changes I made. The script completely connects all "Standard - Ellipse"
within the currently selection. The connections do not appear unless I
manually move each Ellipse in the diagram. I have tried using
update_extents, add_update_all, and update_connections but none seem to
do what I need.
Here is the script
# This function completely connects the given group of "Standard - Ellipse"
# objects with "Standard - Arc" objects with open circles (ending 9).
#
import dia
EXCITE_CONN = 8
INHIB_CONN = 9
CONN_TYPE = INHIB_CONN
def complete_connect(data,flags):
"""
Arguments:
- `data`:
- `flags`:
"""
d = dia.active_display().diagram
layer = d.data.active_layer
grp = d.get_sorted_selected()
connType = dia.get_object_type("Standard - Arc")
for o in grp:
if o.type.name == 'Standard - Ellipse':
for target in grp:
if target.type.name == 'Standard - Ellipse' and not o ==
target:
#Connect to all other nodes except itself
temp_conn, h1, h2 = connType.create(0,0)
#temp_conn.properties['end_arrow'].value.type =
CONN_TYPE
h1.connect(o.connections[8])
h2.connect(target.connections[8])
layer.add_object(temp_conn, 0)
#Apply changes to display
d.update_extents()
#Create a menu item in dia to call the complete_connect function
dia.register_action ("CompleteConnect", "Complete Connect",
"/DisplayMenu/Dialogs/DialogsExtensionStart",
complete_connect)
