Hi! I'm tentatively planning to write a constraint widget for laying out data flow diagrams and Booch diagrams as part of my dissertation work. In additio I plan to write a (very small) set of widgets for use with this constraint widget, including a Booch "package" widget. I've written a few small widgets already, so I know there's a great deal of work ahead. That's why I want to make sure I get a solid design specification before I begin coding! :) Does anyone out there have any suggestions as to what this widget set should look like? The layout algorithm utilized by the constraint widget will be a large part of my research, so I don't really need too much help there. What I'm really looking for is suggestions as to what features would be helpful to the applications programmer looking to build his own CASE tool with these widgets. Thanks in advance for any suggestions you might wish to e-mail me! I won't be able to answer until the middle of next month (hey, it's Spring Break! :) ), so if you come up with any hot inspirations for my widget while at the beach, please let me know! -----> Kelly Morrison, Auburn University
