Hi

I need help in generating GMF diagram editor dynamically with diagram.

I have the event trigger ready and also i am able to open the diagram editor with palette but without diagrams instantly.

Below is the requirement for which i am looking for a solution:

1) I need to parse the domain specific elements from an xml and also from the domain model(ecore), run rules from the rules container and generate dynamically GMF diagram editor displaying the diagrams with relationships.

Questions are as follows:

1) How do i set a rules container in GMF ?

2) How do i get the GMF diagram editor dynamically displaying the diagrams with relationships based on the rules ?

I appreciate your help and support in advance.

Thanks

Hello Solution,

> 1) How do i set a rules container in GMF ?
It's up to you - there is not rules container in GMF.

> 2) How do i get the GMF diagram editor dynamically displaying the
> diagrams with relationships based on the rules ?
Just create .gmfmap and other necessary gmf files, run generator headlessly,
jenerate plugin, jar it and install as a bundle into currently running eclipse.
Then you cn open newly generated diagram editor.

Hi Alex

Thanks for your reply.

Solution Tweak --> 1) How do i set a rules container in GMF ?
Alex -->It's up to you - there is not rules container in GMF.

Solution Tweak --> Is there a way to construct domain specific rules either in EMF or GMF ?

Solution Tweak --> 2) How do i get the GMF diagram editor dynamically displaying the diagrams with relationships based on the rules ?
Alex -->Just create .gmfmap and other necessary gmf files, run generator headlessly,
jenerate plugin, jar it and install as a bundle into currently running eclipse.
Then you cn open newly generated diagram editor.

Solution Tweak --> Generating .gmfmap etc is done(it's static). I am looking for pulling domain elements from Ecore and gnerating diagrams based on a event trigger. Is there a way i can achieve this ?

Thanking you again for the earlier reply.

Cheers

If you'd like to create new instance of the diagram based on an existing
..domain file then try using Init ... DiagramFileAction generated by GMF and
availabel in popup menu.

Hi Alex

I have generated my diagram editor using Init....DiagramFileAction already as mentioned in earlier replies. I am looking for generating a diagram editor with diagrams dynamically. What i meant is on click of a button should trigger a diagram editor with diagrams in it, right now i am able to invoke diagram editor without diagrams, how can i achieve diagram editor with diagrams dynamically by reading Domain file(Ecore)?

Thanks
