From Paul V. Gestwicki (pvg@cse.buffalo.edu): > Dia is an open-source drawing program that I use on my GNU/Linux > system. Looking over the downloads page, it looks like there's a > Microsoft Windows port as well. The Dia project homepage is here: > > http://www.lysator.liu.se/~alla/dia/ > > When I tried making SNePS diagrams using Dia, I quickly became > frustrated with manually putting text labels inside of circles to make > nodes. I wrote a simple SNePS package for Dia, and it is available > for download. > > If you are using Dia on *nix, download > /projects/rapaport/dia-SNePS.jar > > and extract it in your home directory. It will write all the needed > files into your .dia directory, so that when you start up Dia, the > SNePS package will be available. > > You can download an archive that contains just the data files here: > > http://www.cse.buffalo.edu/~pvg/dia-SNePS.jar > > This archive file contains just the three files needed by my simple > SNePS package: SNePS.sheet, node.shape, and node.xpm. You can then > install these manually based on your Dia installation and environment. > > If you have any questions, feel free to email me. The SNePS package > is quite simple and small, so if you are feeling adventurous and make > any augmentations to it, please make the new files available so that > we can all benefit. > > -Paul
