Hello All,
I have a scenario in which i need to have an icon on top of the Rectangle/ Container Shape.
Regarding this I have few questions

1) Is it possible to have an icon on top of a Rectangle / Container Shape ??

2) If Yes , then how is it possible??

3) If No then on what graphical element can we place an icon ??

Thanks in adavance

Regards,
Deepak P

Deepak,

that's possible, and there are several ways to do it:
- each GraphicsAlgorithm (rectangle, ellipse,...) can have children, simply
a an Image GraphicsAlgorithm as child
- a container shape cna have several child shapes, each of theses shapes
needs a GraphicsAlgorithm, simply use a Image for one of the shapes
- there are decorators that can be added on top of each
shape/GraphicsAlgorithm without changing a diagram (can e.g. be used to
visualize errors).

HTH,
Michael

Hello Michael,

Thanks for your reply Smile

I am able to create the image using the API

"Graphiti.getGaService().createImage(gaContainer, imageId)"

A follow-up question about images: I would like to use a URL instead of
an ID (key into map of resource paths). I see that graphiti internally
uses an ImageDescriptor, since it supports resource paths. However, (if)
I have an ImageDescriptor that supports URLs and would like to extend
graphiti with it, to support URLImages, how could I do that?

Hallvard,

the Graphiti image provider is currently not flexible enough. It will only
support local images stored in the plugin. There's an open enhancement
request for opening that up, see
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=366452 .

I've added a comment to the bug, which includes the source for a JFace
ImageDescriptor that supports URLs. If this could be used in cases where
the path is a valid URL, it would help a lot!
