[news.eclipse.modeling.gmf] Re: Layout information persistence

[bolah@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Bence Oláh)]

I found a workaround for the problem, by getting the child editparts from 
the OffscreenEditPart and iterating through the children list. With this 
solution there is no need to open an editor. The editparts' figures are 
containing the 'real' layout information, not just '-1' values.


Sample code:
..
CopyToImageUtil util = new CopyToImageUtil();
DiagramEditPart diagramEditPart = util.createDiagramEditPart(diagram, 
shell, preferencesHint);

List editparts = diagramEditPart.getChildren();

foreach(EditPart editpart: editpars)
{
  if(editpart instanceof GraphicalEditPart)
  {
    Bounds bounds = ((GraphicalEditPart)editpart).getFigure().getBounds();
  }
}


However it would be nice if I could persist all the graphical information 
to the diagram file and later load it back.
