Hi all,

I am struggling with compartments for some time now. Of course, I read the tutorial on compartments (GMF Tutorial Part 2), but I can't get it to work correctly. The problem is that I can add elements to a compartment, but the figure always takes up too much space, no matter what I try.

The example below is created to show my graphical definition and my mapping definition in a concise way. The real project I am working on is bigger, and I don't want to annoy you all with this one Wink

The example is as follows: Class A with a name (String) and a 'many' containment reference with Class B. Class B has a name and a type. The graphical editor should allow creating top node A, with child nodes B to be added in a compartment. The figure of class B should be two labels horizontally alligned; one showing the name, the other showing the type.

Note: I've archived the project. See the attached zip file.

The generated editor does indeed allow me the add class A's as top node and let me add child nodes B in a compartment box. The Class B figure is correct, with the problem that there is an empty space between subsequent class B elements. See the figure below:

index.php/fa/2810/0/

Can someone please help me with this?

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,
Niels Brouwers.
