Reorder elements on diagram, tree or table [message #1722181]

Hi

Is it possible to reorder elements on diagram, tree or table editors?

Sirius displays graphical elements from the order of their computation:
they are sorted by mapping and by the result of the semantic candidates
expression of their mapping.

So if you want to reorder some elements you will have to reorder the
corresponding semantic elements (from semantic tab of the properties
view, or tools or actions/menu).

In "Sample Ecore Model Editor" or "Sample Reflective Ecore Model Editor" one can reorder EClasses or EFeatures by drag'n'drop.

Is it possible to implement a similar functionality in tree or table view? I can't find a drag'n'drop tool for these views.

In the TreeDescription you have the possibility to use a drop tool, you
will not have the insertion feedback (line) between element, but you
could use this to place the dropped element before/after the target of
the drop.

There is no current way to this reorder from the Viewpoint Specification
Model but this could be an interesting idea.

I've got it. Thanks! It seems that it will work for tree views! I can reorder by external java action.

Is it possible to handle drag'n'drop in table views? Maybe I can extend sirius programmatically?

I am interested in reordering list elements in a diagram view.
Any way to implement this from outside, maybe by an additional edit part
policy?

Cheers,
Axel

It's not possible directly (through the VSM) to react to graphical
reordering of list elements on diagrams, but you could probably define
"Popup Menus" (context menu items) on the list elements corresponding to
the "Move Up" and "Move Down" operations. Not as convenient as a
Drag'n'drop from user's point of view, but depending on the use case it
could be sufficient.

Otherwise you can override the edit part implementation and/or edit
policies used by Sirius for selected items with the standard GMF
extension point. See for example at [1] how UML Designer does it. If
you're familiar enough with GEF/GMF you may be able to provide a custom
"DragDropPolicy" doing what you need (not tested though).

Hi,

For diagram there is already a feature request [1].
For table we can do sorting by clicking on column header or line, see
SortColumnsByLineAction & SortLinesByColumnAction. But we don't have
drag'n drop feature in table, you can raise a feature request through
the Sirius bugzilla if you want.

Best Regards.
