Hello,
having used dia to play a little bit I had the idea that the concept of
connection lines instead of points would bring many benefits.
Instead of having a limited number of connection points at the border of
objects connection lines would allow for unlimited different connections.
Catching shouldn't be a bigger problem than with points. I could even
imagine lines with different properties such as smoth lines, where
connectors slide frictionless, sticky where connectors are fixed or
inbetween where connectors slide just a little when the object is moved.
Another enhancement might be generalising to polylines. This consept might
be usefull in many kinds of diagramm.
I'm afraid I have neither time nor skill enouth to do this myself, but
thought it wouldn't hurt to suggest it.
Regards,
Hans-Juergen
