Hi,
in the past, I created flow diagrams (e.g. https://xkcd.com/627/) using Dia. While Dia is a marvellous program for such kind of diagrams, it is quite limited in its design and layout capabilities.
Now I'm looking into Inkscape, but I encountered some problems:
I draw a create a rectangle and place a text object inside and align the text object horizontally and vertically with the square:
+‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾+ | Ask someone | | for help | +_____________+
Later on, I change the text:
+-------------+ | Ask someone | | for help | | or give up. | +-------------+
Unfortunately, now I have to re-align again. Is there any way to do this automatically like in Dia?
Also, I would like to adjust the height of the box accordingly.
If this is not possible out of the box, but would it be possible to write a Python script/plugin to do it? Can Inkscape run a plugin automatically e.g. on every text change?
TIA & Cheers
