Re: [gef-dev] Connection not touching figure.
|
Fergal's answer made me rethink...
The simplest solution, if normal chopbox functionality is good enough for
you - is to simply pass the correct figure (your inner rectangle) to the
ChopboxAnchor constructor :) in your implementation of
NodeEditPart#getSource/TargetConnectionAnchor.
Usually you create the ChopboxAnchor like so
new ChopboxAnchor(getFigure())
But you can use something like
new ChopboxAnchor(getFigure().getChildren().get(0)) //or whatever index
your inner rectangle is in your custom figure.
Sorry for not thinking straight the first time.

You need to connect the connection to the inner figure.
One way to do this is to create your own Anchor type (try sub-classing
ChopBoxAnchor). Override the getLocation method to connect to the bounds
of the inner figure (the figure is passed as part of the constructor).
The getLocation method just allows you to specify the point at which
the connection is attached to your figure.
You may also want to control how it connects, for example only left, top
or right connections, but not bottom or it will obscure the text.

All,
I am having a small but painful problem with GEF. I have created some
custom figures. One of them has an icon with some text below it. Looks
something like this

Some Text Here
The bounds of the figure is a rectangle around the whole thing,
encompassing the icon and the text label. The problem is when I have a
connection attach to the figure that is coming off the left or right of
the object the connection stops at the rectangular bounds of the object.
I would like the arrow to be drawn all the way to where it actually hits
some part of the figure that is actually being drawn. I guess I should
mention that for selection purposes I need to keep the bounds a rectangle
around the whole object. Any ideas on how I would do this? Thanks.
Mike
