I have a scenario-

Project and Nodes

I want to link Diagram-> Project

Shape -> Nodes

On open when creating Diagram will link Project to diagram

So I need to know the place where i can add Nodes to Diagram when the editor is getting opened

Hi,

do you really want to add nodes to the diagram when the editor is being
opened? That would lead to the editor being dirty right after opening it.

Or do you mean you would like to add nodes when you create a new diagram
(file)? That should be rather easy, as there somehow needs to be a action
that triggers the diagram creation and there you could hook your
functionality to add the nodes.

HTH,
Michael

Hi Kalpana R,

have you seen the tutorial section on "Dark Feature Processing"? Meant is
adding stuff to a diagram while it is not opened:
http://help.eclipse.org/kepler/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.graphiti.doc%2Fresources%2Fdocu%2Fgfw%2Fdark-feature-processing.htm&cp=27_1_11

The classes referenced on that page are part of the SDK tutorial plugin. You
could hook in similar functionality into the action you trigger to create
the diagram.
