Transparent SVG file as a figure [message #62310]

Hi. I am trying to get SVG files containing polylines (with a transparent
background) to work as figures for an EditPart.

First, is there a generative way to get the SVG file working as a figure?
I selected "custom figure" and then hand coded a node figure in the edit
part. This works, but I have an ugly white box surrounding the SVG image.

If there is not a generative way to do this, is there somewhere I can find
sample code for an EditPart with a transparent SVG? Or could someone give
me some common pitfalls or post a snippet?

Many thanks,

Harley.

Perhaps, EmptyBoxFigure from TaiPan sample could be of help?

I tried this, but unfortunately it's not transparent. If you remove the
brown rectangle from the Box, and place two of them overlapping, you will
notice that there is a white rectangle surrounding the box. If this was
placed on a colored background, the white box would obscure the background.

It's a good starting point though. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Harley.

Check https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=131634, reopen if the
problem is similar or file a new one.
