Textbox filled by default with some text
Hi all, I want to add several shapes with text already filled in in the shape, preferably non-edittable. I see several solutions to this: * Add a field 'text' to the textbox tag: textbox x1=left y1=top x2=right y2=bottom text=Sample text/ ...where Sample text is the default to initialise the text box with, when the shape is instantiated. * Add to the SVG parser a way to parse SVG's text fields like svgtextSample text/text/svg. * Convert the text to vector graphics, convert it to svg, and add those polylines to the shape file. I prefer the first one, since it sounds quite simple to do. Anyone knows how and where in the code to implement it? Other suggestions?

Anyone knows how and where in the code to implement it? The code you are looking for is in objects/custom/shape_info.c, line 893+. -Lars -- Lars Clausen (http://shasta.cs.uiuc.edu/~lrclause) | Hårdgrim of Numenor I do not agree with a word that you say, but I| Retainer of Sir Kegg will defend to the death your right to say it.| of Westfield --Evelyn Beatrice Hall paraphrasing Voltaire | Chaos Berserker of Khorne
