DIA UML seems to targeting at C++, rather than Java.

JIA Pei — 2012-05-25T01:52:13

Hi, all:

1) Just start using DIA. It seems DIA only targets at C++, rather than Java.
On the one hand, in the DIA UML, there is no type "interface" for Java.
On the other hand, as for the tool dia2code, it's supposed to be able to
produce Java code.
My question: without a model of "interface" in DIA, how is dia2code able to
produce a Java interface?

2) Is there any possibility that DIA take "interface" into its
consideration?
Or, is there a substitute way for DIA to deal with the concept "interface"?


Cheers
Pei

I understand how to create new shapes and how to move shapes between existing 
sheets.  However, I can't see how to create a new sheet or place a new shape 
into an existing sheet.  Can anyone help?

goto instruction.
Logical flow always stays the same (usually) but the syntax changes
depending on chip used, hence a specific language setup is not really
suited for me as I use quite a few different chips.

Generally only use about 4 different shapes.

Just reading up on custom shapes, that may do the trick.

Will report back

If I understand you correctly, a possible (alternative) solution may be to use ext-attributes to store the code.

http://dia-installer.de/doc/en/custom-shapes-chapter.html#N41016

Caveat: not sure whether "programatically access" includes Python scripting.

An additional benefit would be that you can double-click on the object to edit the code.

Consider adding a bug/report feature request on CPAN

or contact the Parse::Dia::SQL developers (unless they're already

As the new syntax is much closer to how other databases handle foreign

the same version here


Perhaps i wrote my previous mail in wrong manner, i am sorry, my english
is poor.

The parsediasql produces the triggers for foreign keys in sqlite3 for me,
but i expect the constraint definition, for example:

CREATE TABLE table_name(
  some_id    INTEGER, 
  some_other INTEGER,
  FOREIGN KEY(some_other) REFERENCES another_table(another_id)
);

or the same by other way:

CREATE TABLE table_name(
  some_id    INTEGER, 
  some_other REFERENCES another_table(another_id)
  
);

as described here http://sqlite.org/foreignkeys.html

I tried parse my SQL model to some other DB types - i forgot which,
because i did many tries in last days :-) And for these not SQLite3 types
i got SQL with direct foreign keys definitions (without triggers). Then IMO
the SQLite sopport for foreign keys in parsediasql is poor (outdated?). I
do not tried if this triggers are working yet, but i think that it wi

Custom Shape is not honored

James R — 2012-05-10T17:58:16

I have two custom shapes with a rectangle with a textbox.
In the 1st shape, the textbox is sized to match the svg:rect.
In the 2ns shape, the textbox is below the svg:rec.

The 1st shape renders correctly by default - 3x1.
The 2nd shape does not - it renders 3x2.5.

I've tried various combinations default-width, default-height, viewbox,
changing the dimensions, etc.
All without success.

Any help would be appreciated.

Dia for programming

k p — 2012-05-09T07:36:49

I use DIA mainly for my programming, which is mainly in assembler.

I just wonder if the following would be possible by using Python in DIA ?

I would like to have it, so, there are essentially 2 identical layers, with
one layer being the pseudo description (and flow diagram) and a second
layer being where I enter the source code.
I would then generate the complete source code from the source layer.

Any logical flow change would result in a change the source layer.
My current thoughts are that with every shape added, it will automatically
add one on each layer and then I would just need a way to click on each
shape to send it to the background.
A menu button to send all pseudo or source layers to the for/background
could be done a well.

Like everyone else, it always problematic to maintain both documentation
and source when they are in more than one place.

I'm NOT looking for a reverse operation, where you can enter the source and
it will generate a flow diagram !

Any comments ?

I finally succeed in launching self-compiled version, by make-cleaning
and prefixing with /tmp instead of ~/paquets/dia_bin. I don't really why
it doesn't work before, but that's fine now.

I join my fr.po, but it could be great if some french-speaking people
could have a look before integrating it to the repository. If not i will
try to self check and finish the remaining strings (29 to be translated,
96 to be revised) in the coming weeks.


Yes, that's why i would only accept to do a make install with a prefix
on my system :)

This could be very practical in the future. But it seems there are few
interface changes between the 0.97.2-8 packaged in Debian and the
current repository. So for the first, having the real current version
helped me to understand why some strings where missing in the .po file.

Yes, Dia and a lot of others.

I note that. Unfortunately i currently have just enough free disk-space
to compile Dia !

An easier way is to do a parallel install into a different prefix, e.g.

IIRC the target directory needs to exist.

Hi Manu,

thanks for getting involved with the Dia translations!

The easiest way to do that would be a "make install". Be careful because 
you might mess up your
existing stable dia installation.
If you don't mind, "make uninstall" and a reinstallation of the original 
package will bring you back to where you started.
Alternatively, you could only copy the binary translation file over the 
existing installation (if you have a localized one, which I doubt, 
because you see Dia in English - configuration prefixes may add some 
complexity here, but I'm not sure).
Do other software packages (or even better: an existing Dia 
installation) on  your system use the French locale?

In case you're able to run a VM in VMWare Workstation 8 format, you 
could try the one from

http://dia-installer.de/developer/index.html

There you'll be able to run "make install" without messing anything up 
(besides the VM).

manuk7 — 2012-05-08T19:36:46

Well, editing the po file isn't really difficult (i'm using poedit).
However, i add to do some stuff before being able to make translations:
- get all dependancies required to build Dia
- run autogen.sh (which calls 'configure')
- generate new .pot : make po/dia.pot
- merge old translations with new translations: msgmerge fr.po dia.pot >
fr.po.new // OR, use poedit equivalent function


Then starts translation :)
I hope this way is right and could help future translators.


However i got a question: i'd like to check my translation in Dia before
to send it. So i compiled Dia, installed it locally (in my home), but
when running it with ./app/run_dia.sh , Dia isn't localised (everything
is in english). Same thing when passing before LANG=fr_FR.UTF8.
Did i do something wrong ? or how may i check my translations ?


Ok, this could be interesting too, i will maybe have a look on that later.

Updated Dia Development VM based on Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin

Steffen Macke — 2012-05-06T17:52:42

Hi,

an updated Dia Development VM is available from

http://dia-installer.de/developer/index.html

The VM now uses Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin and the VMWare Workstation 
8 format. It also comes with autodia and dia2code installed. The 
download size is approx. 46% smaller than the previous version (only 1.5 
GB).

This new version also has Python support enabled.

Steffen
