Re: [gef-dev] Connection not touching figure.
|
Thanks for everyone's help. I got the issue resolved due to your
advice. I have some other questions about gef that I would like to
post. Some one else pointed out that the newsgroups would be a better
forum for that. However, when I try to subscribe to the news group it
is asking me to authenticate. Not really sure what to do. I know this
isnt the proper place to ask this, but I already have your attention.
Thanks.

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.
Brian.

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
