creating smart shapes like UML class entity

I managed to do this by cheating and editing the .graffle file by hand:

i) create and save a new graffle file with just a single UML text 
object in it.

ii) Open the .graffle file in a standard text editor.

iii) Somewhere in the file you will see:

		<key>Class</key>
		<string>MultiTextGraphic</string>

	Within this you will see:

			<key>TextList</key>
			<array>
				...
			</array>

iv) Within the <array> tags you will see a number of <dict>...</dict>.

v) Just copy the first <dict>...</dict> and paste in as many 
compartments as you need.

I've enclosed an example with two and 6 compartments.
