Sothis is my new idea: implement a plug-in for InkScape which imports allthe functionality, which is needed to create any kind of chart ordiagram with a minimum of work and a maximum flexibility. Just like itis possible with Visio. Am I the first how had this idea?
While some of the chart functionality certainly should live in plugins, we have the Connector tool as part of the core.
it looks like smart shapes http://rejon.org/2006/08/inkscape-smart-shapes/ combined with connectors, would provide a foundation to build flow-charting capability.
'Dia-like smart shape support' is listed for the 0.52 milestone, maybe it could be bumped up in priority.
Is the plan to implement smart shapes as a Python extension?
Thanks, Kent
Right now
this tool is rather basic and could be improved in numerous ways. So if you are interested in helping out, I think everyone would appreciate if you could start with this long-neglected tool to make it more capable and less clumsy. Coding for Inkscape is fun, and developers on this list will always be glad to help.
