Sketch and Palette relation + Sketch models use [message #665048]

Hi, this is an interesting project. I would like to know whether it is possible to include a free style node in the palette and then use it without having to draw it again.

And I'am wondering to know if Sketch editor generates the metamodel (basic + free style drawn elements), xmi model conforming to that metamodel (semantic model) and the model of graphic information (position...).

An under which version of Eclipse and GMF does it work, the latest one.

Thanks.

In theory this is possible by inserting you newly created element
somehow in the XXXPaletteFactory (in case of the Shapes application,
ShapesPalletteFactory).
Could you please open a bug with this request?
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=Sketch

This way the community could also contribute. =)

Just take a look at the generated .shapes file, you will see an Unknown
element which has "name=whatever", is that what you are looking for?

It works with the latest GMF

Hi. I sent the request. So it works in Helios and Indigo eclipse's modeling versions? Cool!

In part the "name=whatever" is the answer. It corresponds to the label value, setted as a name attribute of the free hand node in the .shapes file.

I mean that model as the semantic. But the Unknown would be interesting to type it and regerate the ecore model corresponding to the tool, so it comes gradually a cannonical gmf editor. And then restrictions can added to the types. Does it work with EMF models as GMF?

Another question I have is if it possible to add atributes to the free hand nodes. And if the this free hand tool can be enhanced with a kind of bezier drawing tool. Or if it can be easily extended to load an image (svg, png, gif).

Thanks.

Hi LD,
its actually a nice feature to have bezier tool, check the SketchTool,
you can modify it.
Can you also create a request on this regard at bugzilla?
