I would suggest that you start with going through our tuturial, it explains all the steps that are required to build a graphical editor based on Graphiti. The tutorial can be found here:

Sorry, Maybe my statement is not clear. When the plugin starts to run, the diagram is empty. Then, I can put shape on the diagram through palette. There is no any shape on the diagram. But I want the plugin to start running with some shapes on the diagram.
What should I do?

You should do that at the place where you create your diagram. in the tutorial this is done by the org.eclipse.graphiti.examples.common.ui.CreateDiagramWizard class which will just create an empty diagram.

HTH,
