Adding icons to the palette [message #884175]

Hello,

I've done the graphiti tutorial (not every part, but almost), i registered an ImageProvider, i modified the palette with a MuseeToolBehaviorProvider.

When i add a ObjectCreationEntry to a PaletteCompartmentEntry, we use a "getCreateImageId()" as parameter. I guess it represents the small icon in the palette to show a small picture of what we are going to add. However, i can't find where we define this imageid (in the createFeature ?), i already searched, but i only find a setImageId for a contextButton, not for a CreateFeature.

So, my question is, how can i add this small picture in my Palette ?

Thank you for your time

Usually, you would simply define your CreateFeature and override
getCreateImageId(). The create features are automatically added to the
editor's palette along with the icon, there's no need to modify editor code
for that.

Does that help?

Hello Michael,

I've got a similar problem, so I post my question here.
I've created a DiagramImageProvider, registered it in the plugin.xml and in my CreateFeature I am trying to add an icon to the palette. So I override getCreateImageId(), which looks like this:

	@Override
	public String getCreateImageId() {
		if (DiagramImageProvider.isAvailable(IMG_ID)) {
			System.out.println(IMG_ID);
			return IMG_ID;
		}
		return null;
	}

The ID is availible in the ImageProvider but the problem is, that the method addAvailableImages() is never called (I tried to set a debug point inside).
So the icon of my CreateFeature in the palette is a simple red point:

index.php/fa/18984/0/

The image path and name seems to be correct.

What could be the problem? Is there a solution for this?

Thank you very much in advance!

Have you registered your image provider with your diagram type provider?

Here's the example for the tutorial:
<extension
point="org.eclipse.graphiti.ui.diagramTypeProviders">
<diagramTypeProvider
class="org.eclipse.graphiti.examples.tutorial.diagram.TutorialDiagramTypeProvider"
description="This is the editor for the Graphiti tutorial"
id="org.eclipse.graphiti.examples.tutorial.diagram.TutorialDiagramTypeProvider"
name="Graphiti Tutorial Editor">
<diagramType
id="org.eclipse.graphiti.examples.tutorial.diagram.TutorialDiagramType">
</diagramType>
<imageProvider
id="org.eclipse.graphiti.examples.tutorial.TutorialImageProvider">
<-------
</imageProvider>
<imageProvider
id="org.eclipse.graphiti.examples.common.ExampleImageProvider">
</imageProvider>
</diagramTypeProvider>
</extension>
