What's an elegant way to create a figure like the ones used for notes
(the sheet with a dog-ear, i.e. a triangle bent down in the upper
right)? Is there a gallery or resource that one can import for that?
With "elegant" I also mean, that the figure should nicely resize,
provide a reflowing label, etc. etc,
I didn't find any such figure in the standard galleries
(platform:/plugin/org.eclipse.gmf.graphdef/models/basic.gmfg raph,
platform:/plugin/org.eclipse.gmf.graphdef/models/classDiagra m.gmfgraph,
platform:/plugin/org.eclipse.gmf.graphdef/models/stateDiagra m.gmfgraph),
but apparently it's around somewhere, since the created diagram plugins
all provide a "Note" palette entry.

The figure used by notes is called NoteFigure it is public in the
plugin org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.diagram.ui. You can use it or subclass it
to do any customizations you need
The way to use change the figure created by the edit part is to change
the code in the your edit part's createFigure() method to create
NoteFigure or a sub class of it

I've tried a very simple case with the generated code where i use the
note figure instead of the generated figure , and noticed that width and
height works as i expect. It respect the value i pass (as long as I just
drop the shape on the diagram surface, otherwise it will use the exact
rectangle i draw on the diagram surface)
this is the way i create my figure :
/**
* @generated Not
*/
protected IFigure createNodeShape() {
Insets insets = new Insets(getMapMode().DPtoLP(30),
getMapMode().DPtoLP(30), getMapMode().DPtoLP(30), getMapMode().DPtoLP(45));
primaryShape = new MyFigure(getMapMode().DPtoLP(300),
getMapMode().DPtoLP(400), insets);
return primaryShape;
}
i have not tried to add labels though ; (I'll try it when i have free time)
