| How to determine size of parent figure based on a child label??? [message #216522] |

I'm new to draw2d and struggling ...
I'm trying to create a figure that will contain 2 children - a
parallelogram in the background, plus a label that will be centered inside
the parallelogram.
The size of the parallelogram is determined by the size of the label,
hence you need to know the bounds of the label before you can draw the
parallelogram.
I'm having a lot of difficulty figuring out how to do this as the bounds
of the label are not known until the figure is painted. I came up with a
solution that involved putting each figure (label, parallelogram) onto a
seperate layer, and revalidating the label to get its bounds. I'm pretty
sure there must be an easier way of doing this as this seems too
complicated?
It maybe I need to use a different layout (I'm using XYLayout at the
moment), such as delegating or stacklayout - I cannot find any useful
information on how these layouts work or how to use them.
Can somebody enlighten me please?

Thanks for the info Stephen.
I actually used a different method. I don't know if this is correct but it
seems to work okay:
public class DCPS_imageFigure extends Figure
{
Label m_label;
Image m_img;
ImageFigure m_imgFig;
public DCPS_imageFigure (Image img, Label label)
{
super();
m_img = img;
m_imgFig = new ImageFigure (m_img);
m_label = label;
setLayoutManager (new XYLayout ());
org.eclipse.draw2d.geometry.Rectangle constraint = new
org.eclipse.draw2d.geometry.Rectangle (100,100,-1,-1);
add (m_imgFig, constraint);
add (m_label, constraint);
}
public void paintFigure(Graphics g)
{
//***************************************************
// Center the image around the label ...
//***************************************************
List children = getChildren();
Figure label = (Figure) children.get(1); // The label
Dimension size = label.getSize(); // Size of label
Point centerPt = label.getBounds().getCenter(); // Center point of
label
int scale = size.width + 40;
Image image = new Image (null, m_img.getImageData ().scaledTo
(scale, scale));
org.eclipse.swt.graphics.Rectangle bounds = image.getBounds();
int x, y;
x = centerPt.x - (bounds.width / 2);
y = centerPt.y - (bounds.height / 2);
m_imgFig.setLocation(new Point (x, y));
m_imgFig.setImage(image);
m_imgFig.setSize(bounds.width, bounds.height);
}
}
