Canvas and Top node customization [message #553355]

I would like to set the canvas layout as flowlayout, vertical. My top node must be as wide as the canvas and resize each time the canvas does. In a picture, the graphical editor should be like this:
------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------
topnode1name
childnode11
childnode12
------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------
topnode2name
childnode21

------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------

I can't find a way out of this, any help will be appreciated!

Hi,

you can set different layout in .gmfgen->gen editor->gen diagram->figure viewmap

Regards,

I came upon this issue but whatever else I try to put in the options you specified then my top nodes are stacked on-top of each other and I cannot move them.
What is the right option there to make them align vertical?
The are 2 options to be filled:
-Figure Qualified Class Name: org.eclipse.draw2d.FreeformLayout
-Layout Type: UNKNOWN

Thank you in advance

[edit]
I also found this on my canvas editpart, but no matter what I put on the layout manager nothing ever changes

protected NodeFigure createNodeFigure() {
	NodeFigure figure = createNodePlate();
	figure.setLayoutManager(new StackLayout());
	IFigure shape = createNodeShape();
	figure.add(shape);
	contentPane = setupContentPane(shape);
	return figure;
}
