# Autodia::Handler::dia(3pm)

AutoDia handler for dia

## NAME

Autodia::Handler::dia - AutoDia handler for dia

## DESCRIPTION

This provides Autodia with the ability to read dia files, allowing you to convert them via the Diagram Export methods to images (using GraphViz and VCG) or html/xml using custom templates.

The dia handler will parse dia xml files using XML::Simple and populating the diagram object with class, superclass and package objects.

the dia handler is registered in the Autodia.pm module, which contains a hash of language names and the name of their respective language - in this case:

## SYNOPSIS

use Autodia::Handler::dia;

my `$handler` = Autodia::Handler::dia-\>New(\\%Config);

`$handler`-\>Parse(filename); # where filename includes full or relative path.

### CONSTRUCTION METHOD

my `$handler` = Autodia::Handler::dia-\>New(\\%Config); This creates a new handler using the Configuration hash to provide rules selected at the command line.

### ACCESS METHODS

`$handler`-\>Parse(filename); # where filename includes full or relative path.

This parses the named file and returns 1 if successful or 0 if the file could not be opened.
