Creating extended diagram types based on the delivered ones [message #1705297]

I would like to extend a diagram type delivered by Papyrus (the deployment diagram e.g.). I want to include additional artifacts (not stereotypes) it can't process now. Additional "Artifacts" mean additional edges like an association link.

Of course, I could create a new diagram type using GMF.

But as I don't want to create a totally new diagram type, I would be happy to use the GMF files used by the Papyrus team when building the delivered diagrams (.gmfgraph, .gmfmap, and so on).

All I can find is the DeploymentDiagram.gmfgen file (in the org.eclipse.papyrus.uml.diagram.deployment plugin). With this alone I don't now how to customize the diagram without starting with a totally new .ecore file.

No one of all the tutorials I found and read gave me a hint where I can find the appropriate source files. Could somebody point me to the right direction, please?

I'm using Papyrus 1.0.1 on Eclipse Mars, by the way.

Hi,

This is definitely possible on Papyrus Mars (1.1.0+), using the "Diagram Expansion" model of Papyrus. However, there is still a lack of documentation and examples: we're currently using this mechanism to provide new SysML 1.4 Diagrams, as well as for the Papyrus-RT project. Once these implementations are complete, we should be able to provide complete documentation (and examples)

You may already have a look at the Papyrus/SysML 1.4 git repository to find examples, but please keep in mind that this is still work-in-progress

HTH,
Camille

Hello Boerries, did you figure out how to expand the existing diagrams in Papyrus?
