Hi,

I have the following requirement.

When the user press a toolbar button, i need to insert a new node (represented by a rectangle) to the canvas.

I'm planning to develop a customization plugin to achieve this task.

What is the procedure to programmatically create a new node?

Thanks in advance!!

Hi,
In the plugin, if you create elements in the palette, the user of the plugin can drag and drop those elements.
If I understood well, you want the user to press a button and create an element on the canvas(not drag/drop the element)?!
To do this more simple, you can create a button with the action of editing the XML that represents the canvas. You can verify what happens with the canvas when an element is added(drag/drop) and create a simple action in that button that will edit the canvas(XML).
Hope that helped.
