Attach Other Figures/EditParts to an Edge [message #1787648]

Hello,
I have already asked it on GMF forum but no one replied, so I thought some people here may konw.

Currently, labels are attached to the connections/edges, which allows the user to see a link when moving the label around (see below). Now, assume that I have a figure or editpart which I want to attach it to a connection. Is there any way to do that by either attaching the editpart to the connection other than setting a figure as the label of the connection ?

Thanks.
Regards,
Parsa

Hi Parsa,

Do you want to make the attachement displayed only while moving the attached figure ?

If your modeler is based on Sirius, as indicated in https://www.eclipse.org/sirius/doc/specifier/diagrams/Diagrams.html#edges :
Quote:

Note that it is possible to have edges whose source or target is another edge, but not both.

So you might define an additional EdgeMapping to represent this attachment.

Regards

Thanks a lot Maxime,

I like that there is always a solution for everything. I keep it as a potential solution cuz I didn't really want the edge to be visible, but if I set its size to zero then it is kind of OK. I assume it is either setting an edge or setting the label figure to make it happen.

Thanks for your help,
Regards,
Parsa
