Hi Louis,

I have also tried the compartment option, but the problem is if the number of students is 10 or 20, it gets real messy in the view. Further, one cannot get the whole informaiton just by clicking the workshop icon "Show Properties View" and a click on each compartment is required to view their properties.

Else if there is any way possible to show the node and its compartment properties in one view. For example if I click workshop icon "Show Properties View" all the properties of its compartments also become visible.

I am basically trying to solve this problem at Eugenia level level before posting it on the GMF forums.

kindly,
Syed Imran

Hi Syed,

You're right - the compartment view takes up on awful lot of room because each student is represented as a node. It might be better if we could achieve something like in the Ecore diagram editor where properties are displayed inside classes. I don't think there's any support in EuGENia for this yet though...

As you mention that it might be desirable to customise the properties view, it may be best to post a question on the GMF forums. EuGENia can't do this right now, and I'm not sure to what extent GMF supports customisation of other views.

Sorry that I can't be any more constructive. If you do find an answer, please do let us know and we'll consider capturing the pattern in EuGENia -- it does sound very useful.

Cheers,
Louis.

Hi Syed,

You could reduce the space taken by nodes in the compartment using a
polishing transformation as shown in the class diagram example in
http://www.eclipse.org/gmt/epsilon/doc/articles/eugenia-poli shing/
