Thanks (but Dia is a _cross platform_ application :)

Were you trying to do this as a programmed shape or an drawn shape (I'm
thinking it has to be the former)

(Windows, and there you were above limiting Dia to just Linux!)

If you could tell us the name of the third party windows software and
maybe provide screenshots of the functionality you would like to try and
get into Dia.

There are enough computer scientists around that it would if you could
tell us the science this is supposed to represent or if it is some part of
SDL or UML or something like that.
If we better understood the concept that you wanted to represent there
might be an easier (and therefore better) way to do it.

Maybe your description is enough for some one else to work off of but I am
having difficulty understanding what you mean.

It would probably also be a good idea to file this request in Bugzilla.

You might get lucky but most likely people will do their best to help you
do this for yourself rather than just doing it for you.
