DiaCanvas is in its second incarnation: DiaCanvas2. Aiming towards future
|
|
computing needs on GNOME based desktop environments, DiaCanvas2 is providing
|
|
you with a full featured diagramming canvas:
|
|
- Model/View/Controller based design: The DiaCanvas class only holds
|
|
abstract data (using DiaShape objects), the data is rendered by one or
|
|
more DiaCanvasView's.
|
|
- Usage of the widely used GnomeCanvas for visualization. This makes it
|
|
easy to let DiaCanvas2 display anti-aliased diagrams with translucency
|
|
(alpha) support.
|
|
- Export facilities for GnomePrint and SVG.
|
|
- Objects can be rotated/sheared/resized/etc. without the need to
|
|
recalculate shapes. DiaCanvas relies heavily on the LibArt library
|
|
(which is a standard GNOME library).
|
|
- Objects can connect to each other with handles. The connection is
|
|
represented as a mathematical equation, which is solved using a real
|
|
linear constraint solver (see the reference documentation for more info).
|
|
Handles do not need predefined connection points, but can connect to each
|
|
other in a more generic way.
|
|
- Of course DiaCanvas2 has all the features a modern application needs,
|
|
including undo/redo and copy/paste functionality (copying is not
|
|
implemented yet).
