Re: [graphiti-dev] Graphiti and JavaFX

Hi Michael,

thanks for your reply and the reference to your Github repo. I'll check out your prototype.

Could you give a rough estimate of the amount of work required to implement a full JavaFX-based renderer? I'm relatively new to Graphiti and not too familiar with its inner workings. I have heard that the SWT renderer consists of about 25,000 lines of code.

Cheers,
Uwe

Hi Uwe,

well maybe a small update?

I also saw JavaFX gaining momentum und was able to play around a little, but due to lack of time did not get far.

What I was able to start with is a small prototype of a rendering implementation for Graphiti in JavaFX. Currently it is able to render some simple diagrams (e.g. Chess example) in a view, but there is no interaction whatsoever. If you like to have a look I have it checked in to GitHub:
https://github.com/mwenz/graphitiFX

But still very basic stuff. Anyhow, if you are interested, any help here would be highly appreciated?

Regards,
Michael

Hi,

more than 19 months ago, there was a short discussion about a JavaFX-based renderer on this mailing list, see http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/graphiti-dev/msg00079.html. The conclusion was that such a renderer would be a great thing to have, but there was no capacity for implementing it at the time.

Are there any updates on this issue?

I'm asking because JavaFX has gained a lot of momentum lately and I see many people adopt it. e(fx)clipse has done a good job in the Eclipse world in this regard.

Thanks,
Uwe
