Hi there! Is there possibility to have nested elements in a container element? Like on the attached picture, Component 4 is inside Component 3.

Hi!

Zest support hierarchic graphs of a limited degree. See the example http://git.eclipse.org/c/gef/org.eclipse.zest.git/tree/org.eclipse.zest.examples/src/org/eclipse/zest/examples/swt/NestedGraphSnippet.java and your graphcontentprovider can also extend INestedContentProvider (however, this content provider limits you to a single level of nesting - aka. no nesting is possible in nested nodes).

However, the built-in layout algorithms don't support especially well these nested scenarios - they cope with it, but expect to see some issues.

Cheers,
Zoltán

Using Zest what I am trying is to render nodes as containers using INesteContentProvider.
But what I want is to put additional Informations (list of strings or smth) into these Containers. NOT Graphs.
Is there a way of doing this?

Hi, Andre!

Then you could make your LabelProvider implement an IFigureProvider, and then you can write your own, custom Draw2D figure. See http://git.eclipse.org/c/gef/org.eclipse.zest.git/tree/org.eclipse.zest.examples/src/org/eclipse/zest/examples/jface/CustomFigureJFaceSnippet.java as an example.

Cheers,
Zoltán

Thank you Zoltan,
I am able to implement a custom Figure this way. But I havn't got a clue how to implement the expand and collapse feature like in container mode into the new figure.
Is that something on side of draw2d?

Thank you.

Hi,

sorry for the late answer. Yes, you have to implement collapse on the Draw2d figure by reacting to clicks, etc.
