I have a situation, where I have an instance of the domain model and I would like to show it in a view.
I do not need an editor - only a view.
Furthermore, ELK Graph data type completely covers the domain model I am working with. Thus I could image the following:
my domain model ==> ELK Graph (a call to layout happens here) ==> ELK graph is shown in a "ELK Graph view".
If there is such "ELK Graph view", could you please, point to an example/test case, that uses it? I could not find one myself in your documentation.
Best regards,
Mindaugas Laganeckas

Thank you both for the answers.
I have a few comments:
1. I knew about KLightD framework beforehand, but it was not clear to me, that KLightD and ELK are integrated. I did not want to waste my time with KGraph and possibly outdated KLightD. Could the owners/responsible people write in their website, that KLightD and ELK are integrated? That could definitely save your time. :)
2. The bleeding edge ELK (v0.5) and the latest KLightD are no longer compatible due to the fact, that a class has been moved to another package in ELK and the same class is used by KLightD. I fixed the import problem locally, but is there an integration job, that would make sure ELK and KLightD are aligned? I guess KLightD should be updated every time backwards incompatible change is made.
3. The examples in the KLightD are no longer available. Is there an easy way to get read access to the KLightD git repository? I have checked their webpage, but I was not sure if everyone can checkout the KLightD code.
Christoph and Ulf, feel free to forward my questions/comments to the KLightD project without using too much time for answering them. :)
Best,
Mindaugas

Good idea, will do. What do you consider KLighD's website? Its Confluence Wiki page?

I already fixed that. The problem persisted as long as it did because we had massive problems with the nightly ELK build. That caused the nightly KLighD build to fail, since that was already adapted to the class's new package.
In general, we see integration problems due to our nightly builds.

Yes, KLighD is part of the KIELER Pragmatics project, whose [url=https://git.rtsys.informatik.uni-kiel.de/projects/KIELER/repos/pragmatics/browse]repository[/quote] can be cloned anonymously. You can find example projects based on KLighD as part of the OpenKieler project. Look at KlassViz, DebuKViz, and EcoreViz, for example.

Well, KLighD is developed here at Kiel University where I still work, so I may as well answer your questions. ;) At some point we might want to move the discussion over away from the ELK forums.
Cheers,
Chris
