Larger shape handles
Last modified: 2019-03-20 11:06:35 UTC
OpenOffice has an option to have bigger shape handles (you know the little squares at the corners of objects for resizing and what not), would be nice to have in Dia too, good for accessibility (and people like me with crude pointing devices such as a laptop touchpad). Begs the question why have the small handles by default, even why have them at all? I suppose the chunkier ones are unnecessary and dont look as good for most users.
It's defined in lib/connectionpoint.h to be 5. Making it changable would be a nice touch.
I wrote that too early, before having tested it. That was the size of the connection point crosses. The handles size is defined in lib/handle_ops.c. The connection point crosses could also do with being enlargable, in width as well. Probably there should be a setting of Small, Medium, Large for "handle size"? "decoration size"?
