[news.eclipse.tools.gef] Re: clipping problem

["Pratik Shah" <ppshah@xxxxxxxxxx>]

You should do this by changing the type of handles that are drawn instead.
In the logic example, when you select a part in the viewer, you see handles
(small, black squares) appear around it that allow you to change that part's
bounds.  These handles are on a separate layer and can exist outside the
bounds of the figure they are handling.  You should just change the types of
handles that are drawn (to circles in your case).  I believe it's done in
ResizableEditPolicy.
