Working it out...

[Athanasios Anastasiou <thanos atmail com>]

Hello Guys

Sorry to be a nuisance with "simple" questions but is it possible to 
provide some hint on the following?

1)
I have been looking at the Dia source code to find out some more info on 
how to add some properties to a graph in the way it shows up in UML. I 
took a look at the shapes related files and the properties related 
files  but it seems like the shapes are very abstracted. Could you 
provide some insight?
I suppose that there are "hooks" on things like "Show me the properties" 
where Dia calls a supplied function instead of its default one for 
properties. Something similar must be happening with the objects them 
selfs to provide the extra properties and stuff. Otherwise i would have 
to recompile Dia everytime i would like to add a new set of symbols. Any 
direction is greatly appreciated.

2)
Is there a way to completely reload a package in Python? I hate to 
restart Dia everytime i am making a change to my script.


3)
How does the dia.register_* family of functions works? (From within 
Python that is) I mean, i am assigning a function to a particular menu 
item but it does not appear there :-/ am i missing something there?

Looking forward to hearing from you
