hello world

is the first time you use this forum.

with eugenia there is a way to create the node of an abstract class?
eg

@ gmf.node (figure = "rectangle", label = "name")
abstract class Architecture extends Property...

I can not created node.
Is there a way to do it?
I tried with the phantom node but do not get what I want.

other problem are these:
How do I assign a new image to a node in the palette?
For example, instead of "little stars" I insert other colorful images as a gear or another symbol.

Another problem I have is this. how can I use a figure that is not a rectangle, a rhombus, an ellipse, etc.
I wish I could draw the elements of my model with figures which I have already realized ...

I tried to follow these examples, but are not very clear.

http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/epsilonlabs/index.php? title=EuGENia

http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/epsilonlabs/index.php? title=Nodes_with_user_defined_images_at_runtime

Can someone explain better how to follow?
or whether alternatives

thanks

greetings marco

Why would you need to define a node for a class that you cannot
instantiate (since it is abstract)?

You need to replace the default icons under icons/full/obj16 in your
xxx.edit plugin with your custom icons.

Instead of figure="rectangle" you should specify your custom figure
class e.g. figure="org.xyz.MyFigure" (don't forget to add the plugin in
which your figure is defined to the dependencies of the xxx.diagram plugin)

See
http://eclipse.org/gmt/epsilon/examples/index.php?example=or g.eclipse.epsilon.eugenia.examples.flowchart
for an example and
http://epsilonblog.wordpress.com/2009/06/15/eugenia-polishin g-your-gmf-editor/
for a discussion on the polishing features which you may find useful
