RE: [gef-dev] Looking for Next Release (3.1?) Requirements

[Iain Hull <Iain.Hull@xxxxxx>]

I would like to second the new draw2d table layout.  However think that a TableEditPart to control and edit its contents would very useful.

 

On and off for the past year or so I have been working on a prototype of our workflow tool in eclipse and gef.  One of the features I have not yet addressed is the UI builder this is bassed on an HTML table and is currently implemented using XML/XSLT/DHTML.  I feel that this feature should be implemented in gef also to make use of the command stack etc.  This would require the a TableEditPart / RowEditPart / CellEditPart to provide for tables the same editing functionality that RootEditPart / NodeEditPart / ConnectionEditPart provide for flowcharts.

 

Attached is a small dhtml demo, unfortunatly it only works in IE (as it was written when dhtml in netscape/mozilla was unusable)  Click the buttons and drag the pin images to edit the table (The drop only works when dropped onto a cell, drop on the row thumb to move a cell into an empty row).

 

Regards,

Iain.

With 3.0 almost out the door, we will be prioritizing features and bugs for the next major release of GEF (and also the service release 3.0.1).  If you have requirements, bring them up here, or if we get too many reponses, bugzillas are probably the more appropriate forum.

Some ideas so far:
- New examples
- Graphical Text support
[Gunnar Wagenknecht] +1 and +1 for "editing support" (directly not via CellEditors :-) 
- Snap bendpoint to grid
[Gunnar Wagenknecht] +1 (should be possible to use a fine grained grid for bendpoints, e.g. we use half grid size for our bendpoints)
- New draw2d layout (table?)
[Gunnar Wagenknecht] +1 
- Improvements to the DirectedGraphLayout (constraints, optimizations)
[Gunnar Wagenknecht] +999 to bring #7075 on to SWT's plan

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=7075

Please search for bugzillas before opening a new one.  Also, describe what you are doing (the problem) first, and then suggest the solution.
