Thas the same with bigger formats: No matter how big the diagram, the page size is always an A4 format. No, it is not. However, PDF export only downscales diagrams to fit into the desired size, it never upscales diagrams if there is excess space.
And that is the way it is meant to be. Every half-way decent PDF viewer lets you scale your document to fit the chosen paper size on print, so simply stick with "Automatic Page Settings" enabled and let your PDF viewer do the scaling. So, export PDF and printing are two different things? Yes, of course.
Printing on the other hand uses your operating system's printing framework to produce some kind of output. This is a great feature: but I need some more North American paper sizes - like legal. Right now only Letter is listed along with all the European A sizes Any chance this can be done easily? Well, feel free to post a corresponding feature request including the desired paper sizes.
Exporting to a PDF produces a vector graphic of the yEd drawing. Bit maps have problems when you want to scale etc. Then in the. Lines with more than one segment have to be split into separate segments when pccoil and pczigzag are used.
Put them as you would put them in TeX, e. The bounding-box of the formula will not be calculated correctly. We're hoping for some kind, LaTeX-loving soul to implement the interface to TeX that will allow us to get a bitmap rendering of the TeXified output.
It probably would require some way to set TeX invocation string, preamble and postamble. A given compilation of Dia uses either Dia print or Gnome print. Dia's support for Gnome print is currently buggy and disabled by default, but some distributions Red Hat for one compile it in anyway. If you have such a version of Dia installed, you can Export as PostScript instead of printing, and then print the resulting file.
Version 0. However, a working installation of GTK is required to link the program, and Pango must be available for text conversion. Earlier versions of Dia depend on X for various things, but it is planned to allow conversions without running X. In the meanwhile, you can use Xvbf to simulate an X server with the command:. This gives an almost perfect output, but doesn't allow PostScript tools to operate on the fonts. Note that this export doesn't support other encodings than Latin-1 and is limited to the "standard 13" set of fonts.
Please don't ask us to add other encodings to this. We will not do it. It's an interim solution while we try to get embedded fonts out of Pango maybe using PangoPDF or find a proper way to include partial fonts.
The other option is to install Ghostscript along with its print redirector so you can have a Windows printer that filters things through gs. Why can't I compile Dia In most cases, it is because you have an old version of a support library. The libraries needed to compile Dia version 0. If you use a package system dpkg or RPM , you will need to download the development packages -dev or -devel. Note that Dia is included in many Linux distributions. You can start building from these packages. This webpage mentions how.
Because the HOME environment variable is not set. Add a line like this to your autoexec. You're trying to run the Dia executable directly from the source directories. That way, Dia will know where to find its objects. Have a look at How to add a new shape to Dia. With this, it should be easy to create shapes with, say, Inkscape.
However, Dia now also has the capability of exporting a diagram as a shape. To make a shape, first design it in Dia. Then export it into your subdirectory. Two files will be generated, a. From version 0. It will also update Dia's loaded objects on the fly.
Example contents of a sheet file:. Each new object should be added to the sheet by adding an object section. Next time you restart Dia, the new objects should show up in the list of sheets. If you want your sheets and shapes included in Dia, please create a. This allows us to have an external translation of the sheets. The sed script below outputs a. No, it can't. Visio file format is a completely proprietary and undocumented file format. So it is really difficult to write code to read it.
The now-defunct Software Bazaar offered a bounty of several thousand dollars for reverse-engineering the Visio format. We really would like to be able to do so. Microsoft, in their infinite generosity, has even published the Schema. With the availability of libvisio , it would be possible to write a VSD file importer for Dia. While this has not been done yet, you can use tools like vsd2svg to convert your VSD files into SVG, which can in turn be imported or embedded in Dia.
An alternative would be to make a Visio plug-in that will allow conversion. Other programs have already done this for their proprietary formats. If somebody were to make such a script, we could set up a public server to do conversions. Dia is released under the GPL, version 2. Being open source software, the feature could be implemented. Just in case Dia coders are reading this, the way I see the feature implemented would look like this: You would still have to select a paper size in Page Setup.
You would set all margins to zero You would then tick a check-box named something like "Crop paper size to fit content" On export, Dia would first scale the image to best fit the paper size, then adjust the paper size in one dimension to eliminate remaining empty space, then perform the render to PDF. Improve this answer. Add a comment. There is currently no way to do it in Dia natively.

The resulting PDF will still have the aspect ratio of the page set up in the printer driver and not the aspect ratio of the diagram as the OP wants it. To get an image without any padding, you can export the image as a. David David 8, 2 2 gold badges 22 22 silver badges 38 38 bronze badges.
So this is not a solution to my problem. Making a custom page size in a PDF is a pretty non-standard thing to do, so I don't think you are going to have much luck getting it done in one step. I know it's a non-standard thing to do, but the point it if I save in PNG, it's not vector graphic anymore.
Later on if I want to embed it in a pdf built from latex, a pdf image would be the best, and that's why I prefer the pdf file with no ANY extra padding.
Sergey Sergey 1. That worked perfectly for me. Hope that helps Best regards. Alvaro Pedraza Alvaro Pedraza 5 5 bronze badges. This does not work.
It still leaves a border. And as you can see in the screenshot of the question, this was already described as the way which does not work. MartinThoma Sorry, I didn't read well the question. I've just tried setting the margins to zero and printing with any PDF printer. Am I understanding correctly your problem? Tell me and I'll edit the answer — Alvaro Pedraza.
