Creating edges between sub nodes present in different Conatiners. [message #1787016]

Hello,

I have two containers and each container have a sub node each.

Note: Two containers are directly created under layer.

Sub nodes are displayed as square.

Problem(s) :

1)
When the container is created with 'free form' child representation.

When I first open the diagram , the containers will be overlapped. And the edges are not getting displayed properly. Issue persists even after clicking on arrange all.

2)
When the container is created with 'List' child representation.
The sub nodes are displayed as list (without square )

The edges are not getting created.

3)
When the container is created with 'Horizontal' or 'Vertical' stacks child representation.

The edges and sub nodes are not getting created.

Can someone please assist me in resolving this issue?

Regards,
Rakesh

Hello,

1) I can't reproduce your issue, do you have a custom layout that could explain it?
2) In List mode, only the sub nodes are represented only by label and you can't have an edge on a label. There is a feature request about it, but I don't think it is planned for the moment.
3) You probably miss the container mapping that defines the compatments between your container mapping in Horizontal or Vertical mode and your node mapping.

Hello Steve,

Thanks for you reply.

By default ELK layout is getting invoked. When we remove the ELK plugin, the lay outing is working as expected.

We need ELK layout for other diagrams (without containers) .

Does ELK layout provider supports containers having sub nodes ?Or there is any know issues in this scenario?

Regards.
Rakesh

Hi Rakesh,

Did you install ELK from Sirius or from ELK update site?
It should not be used as default.

In M7 containers overlap will be fixed. See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=535114
There is also a problem with sub node overlapping labels: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=535116

There could be other problems.

The integration is young so don't hesitate to make tickets (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=Sirius) if you find layout problems that are not ELK layout algorithm option configuration problems. Or if you miss some functionalities around it.

Regards,

Hello,

Thank you for the reply.

We have many components in our projects and most of them uses ELK.

Is there any way we can block invoking of ELK for one particular diagram ?

We have downloaded and tested the diagram on Sirius version 6.0.0 , even in this version the containers with sub nodes are getting overlapped.

Rakesh

Hi,

Do you have the GMF feature installed with org.eclipse.elk.conn.gmf plugin?
If yes, do you really use the GMF features for other part of your project?
