Graphical Transformation of an icon stereotype. [message #883376]

Hi everyone Wink

I have a simple problem. I would like to rotate and translate programmatically a stereotype which is displayed in icon shape. Is there any possibilities to do that ?

One partial solution would be to change this icon programmatically in order to "emulate" the rotation. But I really don't know how to do that.

Thx for helping. Wink

If anyone knows how to change the icon programmatically which represents a stereotype, I would appreciate that. Indeed, I succeed to detect the position of the element in the component ( north west south east ), but I still don't know how to change the icon with a given path. This task would "emulate" a rotation of a stereotype which is a element located on the graphical border of a component.

For instance, I could retrieve the applied icon of a stereotype which is applied on a NamedElement.But I have really no idea how to "set" a new icon.

Thanks for helping Wink

Hello Nicolas,

This isn't exactly supported in Papyrus. However, you may still want to have a look at org.eclipse.papyrus.uml.diagram.common.figure.node.NodeNamedElementFigure#setNameLabelIcon(boolean). If you're in your own kind of Diagram, you can easily override this method to select your own Image.

You can also have a look at IPapyrusUMLElementFigure#setStereotypeDisplay(String, Image). However, this method is called by the edit parts when the visuals are refreshed. Thus, your image might be overridden at any time (Especially when the diagram is refreshed). That's probably not a solution Smile

If you're using a standard Papyrus Diagram, and you can't override the Figures/Edit parts, you can still propose a patch to change an EditPart/Figure's Image from the outside Smile

Regards,
Camille

Hello Camille

I'm using a standard Papyrus Diagram so it will be complicated then. Sad

( I didn't succeed to override the Figure/EditParts Sad

).

In the same domain ( graphical modifications ) and in order to avoid to create a new topic, is it possible to apply transparency between UML Components ? Actually, if I get it right, the transparency applied on Papyrus is actually transparency between UML components and the background of the UML editor not transparency between different UML components. I know that I'm not clear :/. For instance, the background of my icons ( which represent stereotypes ) has to be transparent. However, even if I make them transparent in a picture editor and apply the transparency option in Papyrus, it is not really total transparency.

I take a screenshot in order to illustrate this problem.

I'm afraid that this problem is quite similar with the previous one, that is to the say I have to override the Figure/EditParts Sad
