Problem with interpretation of XML representation of diagram layout [message #1714759]

hey everbody,

after i draw a diagram with my own generated GMF-Editor (see Attachement1), i need to redraw it in another GUI. For that i'm using the XML file of the diagram, and i don't know how to use the XML information to redraw a connection in a right way.

Does anyone know how i can use the three values under the nodes "Edges":

1. bendpoints/points
2. sourceAnchor/id
3. targetAnchor/id

to draw a connection (or get the real bendpoints of a connection).

when i only use the attribute bendpoints/points, i get this (see Attatchment2) and as we see, most of the connections are not on the right place.

and i realized that the attributes sourceAnchor/id and targetAnchor/id are missing at some "edges" nodes (see attached XML file).

please, i really need help, any comment could be helpful.

thanks in advance ..

Nana

Hi, did you solve the problem?

I'm in the same situation. I'd like to get coordinates from bendpoints in a (x,y) way. How do you translate from bendpoints to coordinates?

Thanks
