hi!
I've finally started using my Diagram package. While it seems
pretty good for many types of diagrams (and has fancy-looking examples),
I haven't been able to do something that I really need and is normally
very simple to do, even in drawing packages much simpler than a diagramming
package:
1. Basically, I want to have rectangles (boxes) whose text label is
horizontally and vertically centered in them. So far, it seems to me
that Diagram's boxes have horizontally centered labels, but not
vertically (they seem to start near the top of the box). Thus, if
I have vertically long box with the label "Box", it looks something like
----------------
| Box |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
----------------
instead of
----------------
| |
| |
| |
| |
| Box |
| |
| |
| |
| |
----------------
2. Similar problems with the text (objects?) as well. They don't seem
to have a good notion of "natural" size. I have to manually resize
them to the smallest box. This is again a pain when I need to
vertically center a text with some other object.
Can someone tell me what I'm missing and/or the manual pages to read?
Thanks in advance.
