I would like to add some organization to the outline view to make it
easier to use in my application. In terms of the logic example, I want to
introduce folders based on properties of elements or on their classes. I
could have 3 folders of gates with 0, 1, or 2 inputs. I could also have a
folder for all or-gates and a folder for all and-gates.
Since the outline view is built from the root diagram's children, one way
would be to introduce that hierarchy. But that affects the graphical view
also and I'm hoping to not have to do that. Any suggestions on what would
be the best way to proceed?
Thanks,
Jeff

Jeff,
You can easily have editparts that don't map 1-to-1 with you model hierarchy. It would look something like this:
in the editpart with categories as children:
getModelChildren() {
...
result.add( new CategoryWrapper(getModel(), CATEGORY_1);
result.add(new CategoryWrapper(getModel(), CATEGORY_2);
return result;
}
Category editparts then get created for these spoofed model children. It's often best to unwrap these spoofs and get the real model object rather than trying to implement to new virtual model object with its own notification, etc.
Then, in one of the category editparts:
getModelChildren() {
//Get the model, which is probably the same as the parent's model at this point
//Get the features related to the category indicated in the wrapper/spoof
}
