Hi all,

I've been working with Dia on UML class diagrams for a while and I would like 
to suggest a small change.

Currently, all UML class diagrams are scaled to match their contents. I think 
that using a minimum width for these elements would give a much cleaner output 
as most of the class boxes would have a similar width.

This can be achieved (I think) by a simple change the code of 
umlclass_calculate_data() [1] by using this minimum width to initialize the 
local maxwidth variable.

Finally, I found another topic about tweaking UML diagrams [2] when looking for 
earlier posts to this mailing list on this topic. One of the final suggestions 
made in response to that is to add some generic settings for UML diagrams (in 
that case: line width). Has there been any effort in that direction so far? I 
think such a settings 'menu' would be a nice place to put this minimum width as 
well.

Cheers,
Roel Jordans
