Hi,

after reading somewhat in the manual and such, I've noticed that SVG and such 
are used for diagram saving...

I might have a problem with that:

What I want to do, is drawing a special UML diagram, and then saving the 
objects (ie classes, associations, ...) in a special XML format... However, I 
don't need any "graphical" information to be saved, such as the positions of 
the objects in the diagram... 
So the question is how Dia stores the diagrams in memory? Are these just a 
bunch of "vectors", ie pure graphical entities, or would it be possible to 
get a UMLClassObject or something similar from memory, examine which 
relationships (ie associations, generalizations, ...) it has wrt other 
UMLCLassObjects, and then create an XML file based on that information?

Thanks,

Hans
