[news.eclipse.tools.gef] Re: Pop up menu with IFigure

["Dieter Moroff" <Dieter.Moroff@xxxxxx>]

Hi Oscar,

I had a similar problem, I solved it in that way that the subfigures are no
more subfigures in gef but are in the same gef hierachie like the parent,
than you can select the subfigure the same way like the parent. I also had
problems with the clipping of the parent which was also solved by this
aproach. the only thing is when moving the parent you have to move the
childs manually, in the other case it's done together with the parent.
