The method Graphiti.getPeService().sendToFront allows one to send a shape to the front, there is also a method to send a shape to the back. I have a Connection that I need to send to the back, but cannot find a method to do this. What would b the best way to achieve this ?

Graphiti renders all connections onto one specific layer in the diagram,
that's the reason why there is no send to back/front for them.

You seem to be right, even when I call sendToFront() for a shape, it still is behind the connections.

This does mean (at least for my case) that connections are always in front of the shapes. Is there a way to make the connection layer be under the shapes layers, such that all connections are underneath the shapes.

Hi Jos,

have a look at
ScalableRootEditPartAnimated
There exists a field
connectionLayerOnTop
which defaults to true.

Currently there is no API to change the value.

(To try it, you might use the debugger (change value...) or reflection)

You might open a bugzilla request for introducing API to change the value
of the field.

Best, Tim
