Is it possible to resize an image through a LinkBack link ?

Hello,

I had this report about ShapeOnYou :
> When I drag an image to OG4 ... then doubleclick and Linkback  
> update ... the updated image in OG4 will be distorted if the  
> bounding rectangle is not the same dimensions as in the original  
> image.

This is a problem, perhaps it can be solved on the OmniGraffle's size.

Indeed, the images exported from ShapeOnYou do not always have the  
same bounding box. This is a problem with linked-back images, since  
once dropped in OmniGraffle, an image is assigned its original size.  
Thus, further refresh occur within this box, but the box is not  
reshaped according to the new size.

I see only three solutions:
-either I do nothing and let the user resize the image in OmniGraffle  
until it does not look distorted any more
-either I fix ShapeOnYou to always use the same bounding box (let's  
say the window size);
-or there is a mean to tell Omnigraffle, through the LinkBack  
pasteboard, how to reshape an image with a new size;

I would prefer the last solution; is it possible to do that ?

Regards,
