Utilizing Graphiti Diagrams [message #989341]

Hello.
I have a EMF/GEF based modelling tool. Now for some reason I cannot utilize Graphiti as I would have to rewrite my complete tool.

Now the question I have is can I just utilize the Graphiti diagrams like (RoundedRectangle etc) instead of the Draw2D figures I am currently using.

Is there a way I can initialize/extract Draw2D figures from the Graphiti node?

John,

the Graphiti shapes are not part of the API, but technically it would be
possible to use them...

The question is what you would like to achieve by doing that? The Graphiti
shapes are build to be used within the framework and I'm not sure which
effects you might get while trying to use them elsewhere.
