Frequently Asked Questions

Q:

I'm writing a DiagramText file and when I try to open the file, Diagram! hangs. I think it has something to do with the lines because when I remove them, they're OK.

line 1115314

from 1051821

to 1059515

headType arrow

text "hasAttribute"

end

A:

I think that the problem is that your lines, while specifying the endpoint symbols, do not specify which vertices through which they pass. The file format specification is a little vague on this point.

Essentially, for each line, you need to have:

=========CUT HERE================

line 13131

from 1

to 2

4 5 #vertices through which the line passes

end

vertex 4

end

vertex 5

end

=========CUT HERE================

This should solve the problem

The summary was that you need to specify vertices for the line even if it's connecting two symbols.
