Re: [gef-dev] Snap-to-Grid implementations

Hi Randy,
 
For us, we do expect the grid span into nested containers using XYLayoutEditPolicy and this feature can be activated/deactivated as needed globally. Does this feature apply to Mahanttan router as well ?

Actually, we can't look at your code unless you post it to our newsgroup or mailing-list (or bugzilla).  Legal issues :-(

But, if you'd want to share just the approach and problems encountered, that would be great.  We think we know how to do this for the logic example, but we wonder if this is representative of the typical application.  It's actually not a lot of code, but the key is where you implement the code so that other's can tailor it to their application.

I think the questions are how does the grid span into nested containers?  Does it?  When does the grid appear?

Dan,

you may look at our sample HelloGrid plugin in
