- Is it easy to make boxes that auto adjust its size to the text
contained in the box?
no
- I have two box shapes, and then I want to link them i a way I can
drag a box, the other box do not move but the path between the two adapts and stays linked to both shapes. How easy it is to do or emulate that?
it isn't
At worst, for the latter, I will use the grid and easily reconnects the boxes each time I move them (after all it just doubles the number of drags'n drops). As you see, I will be satisfied with tricky/unorthodox/creative ways to do those.
- Would you say I am on the wrong way using Inkscape to do diagrams or
you yourself regularly make diagrams with Inkscape.
i'm sorry, i'd like inkscape to know the things dia does, but it really isn't meant for diagrams... the grid is probably the best solution.
btw, dia can export to svg, but it uses some strange techniques... (the oval corners get exported as separate curves for example :)
