Hi,
I created model with 6 classes. 1 class is represented Canvas. 2,3
classes is represented nodes(as example circle and rectangle). 4 class
is link between circles, 5 class is link between rectangles, 6 class is
link between circles and rectanles.
Model is working but i think that model may be simpler.
Do i need to create a more link -class if I add triangle to set of
nodes? Or links between nodes may do simpler (with less counts of classes)?
Thanks!
Andrei

You don't need classes to represent links in GMF. An EReference between
EClasses can be used to represent a link. But it's okay to have them
too... I believe GMF allows the same object to have different shapes
depending on properties of the object; I'm not sure about that. You're
best to ask GMF questions on the GMF newsgroup...

Hello Andrei,

You could create a common base class "Node" for circle and rectangle. The
link class should connect nodes of any type through polymorphism.
