| [jwt-dev] viewpositions |
|
Hi all, to give some concrete examples in which way
the support for multiple view positions/dimensions could go, I’ve made a
quick draft of the wizard that would be displayed once a user uses a view for
the first time (and can be called manually afterwards). The user can select a) Import dimensions/positions from another
(default?) view b) Select a group of views and a view that
serves as initial source. Any changes on one of the view will be altered on the
other views of the group as well c) Use a layouting algorithm to create the initial
positions of the elements A question that remains is, whether the
synchronization should be specific to the workflow (stored in the workflow
file) or specific to the workbench (stored in the workbench preferences). Since the workflow files will be
incompatible with the new format until the metamodel changes are final and the
converter has been implemented, I created a new branch on the CVS for this
implementation. The next steps are now: * Make the metamodel changes * Put viewdata in its own file (as Marc
mentioned, we can profit here from his implementation in the aspects) * Update code to fit changes * Implement and integrate converter for old
files * Integrate Layouting algorithms (possibly
from the GEF Zest project) Comments welcome :) Regards, Chris |
