Hi all,

what is the best way to automatically change the look of an editoart. I have a node which I want to change the look according to properties in the semantic model. Do I need to change the figure of the editpart or shall/can I change the notational model. Is there a third solution that I don't know yet? If I use the notational model is there any documentation available?

Thanks!!!

Ralph

Hi Aurelien,

this is what I currently do. It uses the shapes figure. I am quite sucessful by removing and adding elements to the figure. My Problem is that the resizing fails after creating the elment. Neither Setboundscommand nor figure.setSize() work. Do you have any idea what could cause that?

Hi,

If your figure is simple and does not have some texts in it that interacts with the model, I think you should have a figure that changes dynamically rather than trying to change anything on the model.

Hi,

there is no text that interacts with the model. Only the sizing causes trouble. If I want to have it less than 20 pixels on very first element creation (addNotify) it is not resized that small. I can only size it bigger. After the element was created (also the following addNotify calls) the resizing to a smaller size than approx. 20 px. works.

Do you know what is wrong with that?
