You should subclass from AbstractConnectionAnchor and override the
getLocation(Point reference). Use the reference point to intersect with the
triangle polygon to return a point on the triangle.

Take a look at the geometry class (org.eclipse.draw2d.geometry) for how to
do an intersection calculation. GMF also has some geometry extensions that
might be of interest. (org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.draw2d.ui.geometry).

Regards,

Steve.

ConnectionAnchor-related issue: I cannot reconnect within the same figure [message #227304 is a reply to message #209586]

Hi there,

I have a figure that has 8 different possible anchor points. Currently
everything works fine if I try to reconnect with a different figure, but
if I just try to change the connection to a different anchor point
within the same figure, the resulting behavior is equivalent to have
selected an invalid target: the connection gets back to the original
anchor point.
I'm not getting any run-time error. Seems that there is a "policy" or
something similar that is not allowing me to reconnect with the same
target figure.
Does any body have had the same problem? Any idea?

Thanks!

-Juan

Hi Juan,

Check if the command created for this reconnection request by
GraphicalNodeEditPolicy or you own derived from GraphicalNodeEditPolicy
returns an executable command. If yes, check that the command is properly
executed, model is updated and you properly refresh the editparts for the
fired event. But to me it sounds more like the command created by edit
pplicies is not executable. Even if the command created by your
GraphicalNodeEditPolicy is executable just make sure other edit policy
don't create unexecutable commands for this "reconnect" request.
Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Alex
