Hello,

Graphiti project has ability to define context actions that are available in form of context buttons when user hovers over a figure on a canvas:

Is there similar feature available in GEF? May be there an example of this being done by someone?

Thanks,
Alex

Yes, that can be realized through handles, i.e. hover handles in this case. The MVC Logo example as well as the Zest Graph example demonstrate their usage.
