Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone knows any hint about how to preview a diagram as a tooltip (on mouseover). I know how to catch mouseovers or tooltips but I don't exactly know how to generate that preview! Moreover, I don't know if there a best practice for it? I can guess that one way would be to export an image of the diagram and then create a cutom tooltip to show that image to the user. Is that what the tools really do? For instance, below is an screenshot from Papyrus (I pointed on Gate C and then the tool displayed a preview of the GateC diagram) . I need something similar to this.

index.php/fa/35451/0/

Thanks,
Parsa

It looks like the code used by Papyrus is here: https://git.eclipse.org/r/plugins/gitiles/papyrus/org.eclipse.papyrus/+/master/plugins/infra/core/org.eclipse.papyrus.infra.core.sasheditor/src/org/eclipse/papyrus/infra/core/sasheditor/internal/ImageToolTipManager.java

They are able to do this because all the Papyrus diagrams are opened (and rendered) inside a single editor, so when showing Gate_A, the SWT control for diagram Gate_C is available and can render into an image. This technique will not work with Sirius as each diagram has its own editor which may not be opened. You can however produce images of your diagrams using the org.eclipse.sirius.ui.business.api.dialect.DialectUIServices.exportWithResult(DRepresentation, Session, IPath, ExportFormat, IProgressMonitor) method and then use the image from that file as tooltip.

Regards,
Pierre-Charles
