Man page adjustment for pstricks-tex and pgf-tex (800 bytes, patch)
2011-12-29 22:33 UTC, Roland Stigge 		committed Details | Review

Description ska 2009-05-08 13:59:01 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
The man page claims that the command exports the file into TeX pstricks macros, but it exports to PGF macros.

Steps to reproduce:
1. dia -t tex file.dia
2. 
3. 


Actual results:
file.tex with PGF \usepackage{tikz} macros are created

Expected results:
file.tex with \usepackage{pstricks} macros


Does this happen every time?
yes

Other information:
Both plugins use ".tex" as extension and dia uses the extension solely for considering the file format. The man page claims that PStricks macros are created.
I file this bug, because I need to create a pstricks tex file from a Makefile; but I guess others will need PGF macros, so both plugins should be selectable individually on export.
Comment 1 Hans Breuer 2009-05-08 14:22:38 UTC 
That should be easy: just disable the tex plug-in you don't want to use via File/Plug-Ins (uncheck Load at Startup). With some small code change in both plug-ins, i.e. setting DiaExportFilter::unique_name one could differntiate them from command line, evne when both are loaded.

Cherry-picked to dia-0-97 branch.

The problem persists in 0.97.2
Comment 6 Hans Breuer 2011-12-29 21:38:09 UTC 
If you refer to 'dia -t tex file.dia' being able to only select _one_ of the tex formats, yes that's to be expected.But if you give 'dia -t pstricks-tex file.dia' that should work as descibed in the commit log:

Comment 7 Roland Stigge 2011-12-29 22:32:34 UTC 
Thank you and sorry - could have seen that earlier.

Proposing attached patch to fix ambiguous man page.

BTW: Why do we duplicate work in doc/en and doc/eu?

Thanks!
