Hi,
Recently, I customized a new algorithm by the extension point "org.eclipse.elk.core.layoutProviders" in ELK. But I want that only my own model diagram can pick this algorithm, other models can not see or pick this algorithm in the Layout properties.
How can make it? Please give some suggestions. Thanks in advance.

Hi,

that's not possible. To use your algorithm, you have to plug it into ELK, which you have done. As soon as it's plugged in, there's no way to prevent others from using it as well.

Having said that, the layout properties view is not something tool developers should provide to end users anyway. Our target audience for that user interface are layout algorithm and tool developers, that is, people who have a fighting chance to understand the settings.

Cheers,
Chris
