Hello,

I already use the GMF got a graphic editor. now I want to refresh the
content of the editor by a timer, for example , refresh the editor by 1s
interval.

Do you have any idea about this or give me some advice or know similar
open source project about this?

regards,
changqing

Hello changqing,

Wich type or ferresh do you mean? diagram content will be updated automatically
on any changes in underlying domain/notation models and if one of the loaded
eclipse reaources was changed..

Hello Alex Shatalin,

Thanks for your help!

My problem is that I want to make the figures refresh by interval. I mean
that I want to make the animated figures and then I need to refresh them.
Do you have any idea about this?

Hello changqing,

If you whant to change figures by timer without any connetions with underlying
domain/notation models then it think this code should be implemented in CustomFigure
used to visualize this particular diagram element.

Thanks Alex Shatalin,

Your suggestion sounds great, but if I want a figure which is default,
like rectangle, to be controlled by timer, I need to find its code? or
maybe I can control the canvas? How to do it?

Thanks again and eager to see your answer!

Regards,
changqing

Hello changqing,

i suggest you creating Custom composite figure (invisible Rectangle with
the layout) and place desired Rectangle into this figure. Then (on second
time step) you have to substitute this figure with ellipse - just remove
rectangle from the parent invisible one and place new ellipse there.

Do you mean all figures? You can get it from editor selection.
