That is a weird file. When I load it and save it again without changing
anything, I get differences between the two files. Here is an interesting
part of the diff output:
<dia:object type="Flowchart - Internal Storage" version="0" id="O20">
<dia:attribute name="obj_pos">
- <dia:point val="36.065,-Inf"/>
+ <dia:point val="36.065,NaN"/>
</dia:attribute>
<dia:attribute name="obj_bb">
- <dia:rectangle val="36.015,-Inf;47.515,NaN"/>
+ <dia:rectangle val="36.015,NaN;47.515,NaN"/>
</dia:attribute>
<dia:attribute name="elem_corner">
- <dia:point val="36.065,-Inf"/>
+ <dia:point val="36.065,NaN"/>
</dia:attribute>
<dia:attribute name="elem_width">
<dia:real val="11.4"/>
</dia:attribute>
<dia:attribute name="elem_height">
- <dia:real val="Inf"/>
+ <dia:real val="NaN"/>
</dia:attribute>
This particular object had some Inf's in it, which look like they were
causing some problems in constructing the diagram. When saving the file
again, I got some Inf's occuring in one other shape. My guess is that
these weird values are causing the problems.
Now it would be really great if someone can outline a procedure to create
an evil file with Inf's or NaN's in them :)
(for those who may be a bit lost by this, Inf is infinity which is what
you get when you divide a floating point number by 0. NaN is what you get
when you multiply Inf by 0 or maybe divide by Inf).
