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).
