[news.eclipse.modeling.gmf] Re: Custom Layout in Compartment

[Alex Shatalin <vano@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Balthasar,

I've generated simple code for a diagram using latest GMF version, put following


> Hi all,
>
> I am working on a diagram with nodes that use compartments to hold
> subnodes recursively. A problem is the layout of these subnodes in the
> compartments. I want to use a custom layout there. As mentioned in
> older Q&A this should be done by overriding the "createFigure" in the

> public IFigure createFigure() {
> ResizableCompartmentFigure result =
> (ResizableCompartmentFigure)super.createFigure();
> result.getContentPane().setLayoutManager(new StackLayout());
> return result;
> }
> This does not work for the current GMF version. If I use anything
> other than FlowLayout the width of the compartments infinitely grows.
