[news.eclipse.modeling.gmf] Re: How change node figure and diagram figur

[addur737@xxxxxxxx (Artur Kronenberg)]

Hi Marco,

ok I think I understand your problem now. You need to have compartments 
that contain other figures, right? And your problem now is, that the 
element in the other element is overlappting your parent element.

However, I don't know how to change the behavoiur of that in the already 
generated code. Did you do that tutorial for this? 


http://wiki.eclipse.org/GMF_Tutorial_Part_2#Validation

This tutorial shows how to create Compartments that contain other elements 
from scratch. Basically it sounds to me, that your compartment is not 
working properly. That may be caused by a wrong layout on your parent? For 
example: My compartments weren't working when I didn't use a Flow Layout 
on the parent element that supported the compartment. 

Also: If you want to have the compartment act like a normal canvas you 
have to disable the list option in the xxx.gmfgen file. 

Well. This is how I created my compartments at least. If you use the list 
layout option, then you will at least not get the problem of overlapping 
components, because they will be arrange automatically in a list style by 
gmf. However, even without the list, you should not have the problem. I 
was able to just perform a arrange all on my compartment to arrange my 
components properly within it and everything is visible.

To achieve that I pretty much followed the mindmap tutorial I linked in 
above.

I hope that will help you. This is pretty much the most I know about 
compartments and the most I can diagnose from here.

when created properly you should have at least a  
XXX[Compartmentname]EditPart and a XXXEditPart. The compartment is a child 
of the actual element.

Best regards,
Artur
