[news.eclipse.modeling.gmf] Re: export ecore model to an image

[Thomas Beyer <thomas.beyer81@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Sebastian,

yes you can do so.
GMF provides all you need.

First of all, create a DiagramEditPart-instance with 
OffScreenEditPartFactory and second use the CopyToImageUtil to save the 
diagram to a file.
All works without ever opening an editor.
If you need further help, let me know.

Regards, Thomas
