Hi,
I am trying to implement custom figure in a GMF based editor.
I have over-ridden the corresponding.
*.diagram.edit.parts.<Class>editpart.java CreateNodeShape as follows:
URL url = null;
url = FileLocator.find(SolmodDiagramEditorPlugin.getInstance().get Bundle(),
new Path("images/ipdslam.svg"), null);
RenderedImage img = RenderedImageFactory.getInstance(url);
primaryShape = new ScalableImageFigure(img, true,true, true);
return primaryShape;
The shape gets created but the problem is that
1>. There are no connection points to this shape. Hence this class cannot be
connected to any thing else in the diagram.
2>. After I draw this shape, the diagram editor doesn't allow me to draw
anything else.
What am I missing here?
Kind REgards,
asif

Hi,
if it is "just" to have an image for the figure, I can advice you to use SVGFigure. Your image needs to be in .svg but like that you don't need a custom figure and connections will works.

Hi ,
Thanks for the response.
If i understand you correctly the following are the steps
1>. "GMFMap" create a Custom Figure Descriptor.
2>. With Child as an SVG Figure.
3>. Then in this child provide the "Document URI" as the path to the SVG
figure.
4>. Provide a label for the name
I have done the above but the problem persists.
The problems:
1>. The figure is drawn at the top left hand corner of the canvas
2>. There are no connection points to the figure
3>. Nothing else can be drawn on the canvas after this is drawn.
Question :-
What steps am i missing?
Do I have to define anything else like layout??
Is there a specific size constraint for the svg?
Can i still provide the labels in this node element? Where will they appear?
Is there a good document for the same?
Regards,
asif

I have tried another approach.
This is how my gmfgraph appears
Canvas
-- Figure Gallery CustomFigure ( Implementation :
org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.lite.svg)
-- Figure Descriptor Custom1Figure
-- SVGFigure Node1Figure
-- FlowLayout False
-- Label Node1NameFigure
-- Child Access getFigureNode1NameFigure
-- Node Node1 ( Custom1Figure)
Node1Editpart.java contains the following code
public class Custom1Figure extends ImageFigure {
/**
* @generated
*/
private WrappingLabel fFigureHiX5635NameFigure;
/**
* @generated
*/
public CustomFigure() {
FlowLayout layoutThis = new FlowLayout();
layoutThis.setStretchMinorAxis(false);
layoutThis.setMinorAlignment(FlowLayout.ALIGN_LEFTTOP);
layoutThis.setMajorAlignment(FlowLayout.ALIGN_LEFTTOP);
layoutThis.setMajorSpacing(5);
layoutThis.setMinorSpacing(5);
layoutThis.setHorizontal(true);
this.setLayoutManager(layoutThis);
this.setURI(" file:/D:/dev_wksd/Sol.Mod.wksd/eclipse.wksd/com.nsn.gmf.solu tionmodeling.graphed.diagram/images/sd.svg ");
createContents();
}
Now the problem still persists.
1>. Once the figure is drawn the canvas is frozen. No other figure can be
drawn.
2>. This figure has no connection point.
Please help.
Kind Regards,
asif

Hi ,
I somehow solved the problem.
Actually while looking around I also noticed that part of the solution is
there in the documentation itself and in Aureliens previous post
" http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.modeling.gmf/m sg19637.html "
.. My mistake.
What I missed was setting the background and foreground color.
Thanks a lot for pointing me in the right direction.
Now I have come across a peculiar problem.
I will launch a separate thread for that.
Thanks once again.
Regards,
asif
