hi,

i am new in emf technologies, so i don´t know where to start. i got some basic introductions, i did some tuts and examples.

Now i want to start to create an GMF Editor. This gmf editor has 1 view, which i use to draw some basic shapes and export this as an svg Image.

http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.modeling.gmf/m sg02104.html
In this case there is no semantic model here. But i want to display some Properties like Position, Color, Border and so on.

Are there some EMF technologies what i am able to use, like EEF for my property views?

thanks,

thomas

Thomas,

I'm not sure how EEF interacts with the tabbed properties view used by
GMF... Have you followed one of the GMF tutorials yet?

Hi,

You can use EEF with GMF tabbed properties views. With GMF 1, you just
have to check "GMF specific properties views" in the Gen Edition Context
properties in the eefgen file, with GMF 2, check "Generic properties
views descriptors" and set the "descriptors contributorID", the
contributor ID of the properties views.

Cheers,

i followed some tutorials, but i think its too early for me to use eef! But there is 1 Question,

I need to export my editor (just 1 with simple shapes) as a svg or pdf file. if right-click on my editor there is a context menu called "File" -> "Save as Image". I need this action (or whatever it is) also in my Menu "File"->"Save as Image" just for a better usability.

Thanks for the reply
Thomas
