GDI+ in use...

Hello GDI+ fans! I just installed my Visio 2002 Pro and loo and behold! it is based on GDI+. Just go to the installed directory and viola. The good news is that, with GDI+ MS is not treating us like "second-class" citizens. The latest version available for download is newer than the version in Visio 2002 Pro. Any reason why you still wish to keep your fingers crossed? Join the GDI+ discussion group and forum at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gdiplus Best regards, Paul. Paul Selormey, Bsc (Elect Eng), MSc (Mobile Communication) is currently Windows open source developer in Japan, and open for programming contract anywhere!

A slightly off-topic (with regard to your main point), Visio 2002 (Pro) makes claims about being a software engineer's tool, have you discovered what it does yet? There was a trial edition front mounted on a magazine here in the UK, but it was a rolling demo. I've been using tools like Doxygen to document my source code, but the graphics generated (using the "dot" tool) are a little naff. Can Visio 2002 plot C++ projects? Also, since I'm asking, can Visio (through it's script interface) do a best guess for the position of items. Dot can be (and should be) scripted without position information. An example of three nodes pointing to each other [in some way] would be: digraph sample { a->b->c; b->a; c->a; } The parser then generates quite a good guess how to layout the items. What I want from Visio is the ability to do the same, plus when it selects a slighly odd arrangement I can edit by hand. If anyone can answer these (especially the second question), thanks, Ray

Hi, I do not know the answers on your questions, however I can recommend to look at Understand for C++, they made export of C++ class hierarchies to Visio, you might try to evaluate how they have done it. Igor Proskuriakov

Hello, I actually bought the Visio 2002 Pro for the software part. I needed a cheap UML tool and my company is too small to invest in the dedicated tools. With me doing most of the designing of the next product, I investigated most and found Visio to be cheap and easier. The upgrade is just $218 and it upgrades even the standard Visio 5.0. There is a claim of documentation, but I have not tested that yet and do not really have a plan for it unless it is something unique. I have just completed a paper of using Doxygen for our codes and I am developing front end to the the DOS stuff. This is powerful enough for our works here. Now, the coolest thing I found in Visio 2002 Pro is the user-interface design tools/templates. Now, I can forget about VB for prototyping. I do not like the VC++ reserve engineering, since it is based on browser files, which I hardly create for my projects. If there is anything else you wish to know email me directly.
