Dear GMF community,
we want to save meta-layout informations in the most generic way possible.
Meaning: Currently we have
.. a GMF editor
.. a textual editor (an Xtext editor) which is used as the domain file
for our GMF editor
.. a layouter plugin which allows selecting among different layout algorithms
Now, one might work with big-scale diagrams, layout them and notice that
one layout algorithm fits the needs at best. Ideally, in such a
use-case, the user should be able to save this layout algorithm for that
specific diagram - say in a header in the text editor.
Currently we are saving the information in GMF as a Diagram Style, which
unfortunately means that our layouters only support GMF based editors
rather than e.g. other GEF based editors.
As a second point, as I said, we want the user to be able to save all
information, including such meta-layout informations, in one text file.
So our question is: Is there a way to persist such meta-information in
EMF layer for instance? Or better: What do you think, is the best way,
best meaning generic, to solve this problem.
I appreciate any hint, comment and help. Thank you and sorry for the
length of this post...
