[news.eclipse.tools.gef] Re: Newbie Question Regarding The Display of Mo

[Aakash Chopra <none@xxxxxxxx>]

Adding the following to the refreshVisuals method of the EditPart worked 
(suggestion made elsewhere in this newsgroup by Partik Shah - Thanks)!

((GraphicalEditPart)getParent()).setLayoutConstraint(this, getFigure(), 
new Rectangle(50, 50, -1, -1));

But I think the nodes are on top of each other now.... I'll have to work 
on that... Also, I need to figure what setting layout constraints is 
actually doing.
