Hi !

I've got a Atom class, which can own some State. I followed some tutorials and i'm now able to add new Sates inside the Atom with my generated diagram.

I tried to use a XYLayout to be able to move States insides my Atom, but it doesn't work : i can't move or resize States, althought it seems the flow layout is not used anymore.

Are there more informations needed in my .gmfgraph to make the xylayout work ?
Like XYLayout Data, or preferred size ?

I've made some try but i ran out of idea ...

Thanks !

Hi,

if you place model elements inside a compartment and want to not have a stack layout you need to do some changes to the generator model. Find the compartment there and set its StackLayout option to false. Now you can move the model elements inside the compartment. Take care that you always have to do this steps after deleting the generator model. Hence, I recommend you to do this setup via an transformation. For example you can use the in GMF build in capability to automatically execute a QVTo transformation when creating the generator model or the solution provided by the gmftooling project.
