Limitations

  • Only about and quit actions are implemented, we are far form the Dia interface maybe by combining this with gaphor..
  • the about displays all python, Gtk versions numbers in linux and paths (guess)
  • Resizing widow does not resize the view
  • nothing can be drawn of the view

Usage

  1. Follow the tutorial to install dia mock

  2. Grab a copy of the baby and save it aside the mock plug-in dir

cd <python-dia-install>/pythondia/plug-ins
git clone https://github.com/sosie-js/python-dia-gui-plugin gui
cd gui/dia_app
  1. Add your action into the main() body in the dia_app.py script

#
menu_name="Help" #in which menu you want to be added File, View,...

menuitem_label="About" #the text for your action you will see in the menu
menuitem_tooltip="About Help" #text that give a description/hint when mouse is over (does not show in menu)
menuitem_name="HelpAbout" #registration name, unique generally menu_name+menuitem_label

callback=help_about_callback #handler when action menuitem is clicked

#and the registration
dia.register_action (menuitem_label, menuitem_tooltip, 
                     "/DisplayMenu/"+menu_name+"/"+menuitem_name, 
                     callback)
  1. Trigger it for this use the run_python.sh helpers. Beware of PYTHONPATH , should match your python version!
cd ..
source run_python2.sh or source run_python3.sh

Normally, it you will show the gui with the menuitem entry to trigger your action
