[news.eclipse.modeling.gmf] Re: Update existing diagrams after model cha

[Enrico Schnepel <enrico.schnepel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Holger,

I think you could find the view element from the notational model using the
EcoreUtil.CrossReferencer class (have a look at org.eclipse.gmf.internal.
codegen.util.EmfUtils) and change the notational view model element
according to your new figure layout.

Regards

Enrico
