Re: [gef-dev] FigureCanvas and Viewport

The Figure inside the Viewport must
return the appropriate preferredSize().  One way to do this is to
use an XYLayout.
Another way is to use a FreeformLayer
as the Viewports contents.  But you must also use a FreeformViewport.

Hi,
 
I experienced the same "problem".
You write that your figure contains a number of images - how do you calculate
their preferred size and the size of their parent figure? Have you implemented
a special layout for it? I would suggest to check the figure sizes - if
they were "large" enough, the canvas would scroll probably.
 
Hope it helps,
Tomas

Subject: [gef-dev] FigureCanvas and
Viewport

Hello to all
 
All right here is the dealâ
I need to do an application using draw2d.
 Everything is going smoothly until I tried to implement scrollbar
functionality on the application.  I am trying to use FigureCanvas
(canvas) and Viewport (viewport).  The viewport contains n number
of images.  Those images can be move around the canvas, so I need
to expand and shrink it as neededâThe scroll area (the canvas) should
be the size of the shell and the viewport should be as big as neededâthe
problem is I thought that if the viewport is bigger than the canvas it
should allow you to scroll aroundâbut this is not happeningâany one have
a suggestion?
 
Here is more-or-less what Iâm doingâ.
 
      FigureCanvas canvas
= new
FigureCanvas(shell);
Viewport vp = new
Viewport();
      ...
      vp.setSize(1000, 1000);
...
canvas.setSize(500,  500);
      canvas.setScrollBarVisibility(FigureCanvas.ALWAYS);
      ...
canvas.setContents(vp);
      ...   
      shell.open();
      shell.pack();
 
 
Thanksâ

Best Regards,
Joel
