Hi,

I've just attached a patch file to bug number 144956. The patch should
add UML statechart transitions to the UML sheet. Any comments are very
much welcome! This is my first shot at submitting code to this project,
so please tell me if I've broken any unwritten (or unread ;-) ) rules in
the code or the way I submitted it.

I have some problems calculating the bounding box for the transition. I
have the orthogonal connector and the texts covered, but the arrowhead
on the connector isn't included in my calculations. This results in some
artifacts when dragging the transition.

As far as I can see in some other objects, I'm supposed to use the
extra_spacing member in the OrthConn struct to add the extra space used
by the arrowhead. But I can't figure out how to use it.

Can anyone help me understanding how it should be used?

Best regards,
 Peter Allin

Ah, OK, I hadn't realised that!

So if I turn dynamic grid off all should be well?  Anyway I'll try it
when I get home this evening (at work now).

Thanks for all the helpful replies.

Howdy all,

I have been busy and have a good idea of how to get the Object-Role
Modeling sheets done and ready for inclusion if Lars would like to add
them one day to dia.

I have one problem that I don't really understand:

When i make a custom shape, I export the diagram as a *.shape file, it
is then available for inclusion into my ORM sheet via File -> Sheets and
Objects. When I include my new shape and apply the changes, I get a very
unreadable picture in the sheet view, like my diagrams are miniture.

How can I get the nice clear pictures you have for the other sheets?
Make my diagrams huge? Fatter line widths?

Thanks,
erics

  Hello,

  I don't understand why is this bug opened?

My result:
1. If you want tag xmlns:dia, than must apply patch to:

Index: doc/diagram.dtd
===================================================================
RCS file: /cvs/gnome/dia/doc/diagram.dtd,v
retrieving revision 1.5
diff -r1.5 diagram.dtd
3c3
<    xmlns CDATA #FIXED "http://www.gnome.org/projects/dia/";>
---
>    xmlns:dia CDATA #FIXED "http://www.gnome.org/projects/dia/";>

Or rewrite xmlns:dia to xmlns in dia files.

2. I don't understand why is in <dia:composite> tag next
   <dia:composite> tag.
   In dtd this isn't. 
   If this right, than patch to:

Index: doc/diagram.dtd
===================================================================
RCS file: /cvs/gnome/dia/doc/diagram.dtd,v
retrieving revision 1.5
diff -r1.5 diagram.dtd
33c33
< <!ELEMENT dia:composite (dia:attribute)*>
---
> <!ELEMENT dia:composite (dia:attribute | dia:composite)*>

  If this isn't right, than remove <dia:composite type="color"/> from
dia files.
When i using autodia, that tag isn't in code.
I don't understand what it doing?

Is it a problem?

Regards,
skim
