Hi all,

I've been using Dia for some time and I'm really happy with it, great work 
guys. Recently I needed my diagrams to look a little more modern to compete 
with visio so I created a few svg's. They ended up being too complex for Dia to 
handle so I switched to using the image object. The output was ok but having to 
always insert the images got tiresome, so I exported my image object to a shape 
- but then it didn't have any connectors...

In the end I've come up with a script to generate my shapes directly from the 
image file. I add the shapes to a custom sheet, create my diagram then export 
as an image to use wherever. There is a major limitation which is that the Dia 
diagram is not portable but it works for my needs.

Please let me know if there's a better way to do this, otherwise feel free to 
use the attached script ( requires ImageMagick )

cheers
