Description Steven R. Shaw CLA 2005-10-07 10:02:54 EDT 
Actions to group / ungroup selections.

Grouped objects create a virtual contaiment so that multiple objects can 
behave as one for movement / style modification.  They can also be modified 
individually with-in the group.

- Custom layout is necessary to supported multiple levels of containment
Comment 1 Steven R. Shaw CLA 2005-10-07 13:58:40 EDT 
this is an enhancement request
Comment 2 Steven R. Shaw CLA 2005-10-17 13:12:47 EDT 
- Could be changes in the notation meta-model to necessitate this.
- Should look at other common applications to gain an understanding of the
use-cases.

I committed a first draft of a solution for this to the branch bugzilla111892_group_support.  There are still issues I am working on, most imporantly, border items have painting issues if the shape they are on is in a group.

How-To-Guide

I am attaching a document that describes how to adopt the group/ungroup functionality in a GMF diagram.
Comment 7 Cherie Revells CLA 2007-11-21 15:11:34 EST 
The GMF Runtime now has the ability to group and ungroup shapes. Check out the GMF Runtime Logic and Geoshapes Examples to see the new functionality. It's under the Format menu when multiple shapes are selected. The group/ungroup actions are not contributed by default by the GMF Runtime. To learn how to adopt the group/ungroup in a GMF diagram, see the attached document. Note at this point, the group/ungroup functionality has not yet been adopted by the GMF Code Generator.
