Well, my team has been using GEF in a project (may even use it in
another project) and we were planning on implementing graph layout
algorithm. However, I guess we did put in some effort in the recent
past in coming up with a generic Java API to be implemented by the graph
entities (nodes and edges) such that the various algorithms can be
plugged-in independent of the underlying graph implementation. Also, I
am guessing we did have some layout algorithms implemented.

Since GEF 2.2 plans to provide automatic graph layout, I was wondering
if GEF team had settled on any high level graph API on which the layout
algorithms will work. If not, would GEF team welcome an existing API
from the community? If so, I am guessing may be a couple of us in our
team working on this issue will be able to contribute.

waiting for reply,

Randy,

First I'd like to thank for the work you guys did with GEF 2.1; I
orignally worried about being able to implement my project with GEF as it
was over half a year ago, but 2.1 is a very solid release that solved most
of my requirements. Great JOB!

Now for 2.2 suggestions (not really requirements) I just have a couple
related to Zoom functionality:
- allow ZoomManager support arbitrary zoom level that's not in the
predefined list. [For example allow typing in any number in the
ZoomComboBox action. Zoom In/Out would still move the predefined levels]
- Allow zooming in the overview panel. I.e. add the resize handles to
that overview box that can be drag around, so that if its resized it
adjusts the zoom factor.

Or and MacOS X support. The display works, but not resizing/draging
doesn't. Probably related to SWT issues and absense of any DragDrop
support currently. Since MacOS X will be primary support platform for
Eclipse 2.2 I'd hope to see GEF work well on it as well.

That's it for now , as the others I had seem to be already covered by 2.2
plan. Specifically the layout algorithms and better/easier printing
support/dialogs would be nice.

I'll try to think of some more as I'm developing my project.

Thanks,
Vadim

I would also like to see GEF being tested on MacOS X. Most of the
enhancements on that platform will probably come in core Eclipse 2.2,
but GEF is a good case to steer the efforts.

Another question: does the version numbering for GEF follow Eclipse
releases? Will GEF 2.2 target Eclipse 2.2, or is this just by accident
that the current release has the same version number as Eclipse? Please
add the answer to this question somewhere to the GEF 2.2 plan.

This is in 2.1 already.

Resizing should work, as should creation by clicking once on the palette,
and once on the canvas. I have no way of testing this.

Hmm. So it is. Great! I could've swore I tried this and didn't work
before. I probably tried it right before it was added ;)

As I was tracking the new builds weekly it wasn't very easy to tell what
new things were fixed/added in a particular build.

The feedback on moving/resizing definately does NOT work, even though the
move/resize itself I think does. So its really hard to tell what's going
on.

I can't test this myself, but the only thing I can think of is that GEF uses
an asyncExec to queue the repaints during a mouse drag such as resize.
Maybe the Mac implementation doesn't service deferred runnables during a
mouse drag?

Hi,

Is it a good idea to have "Selection tool for WYSIWYG editor" as a feature
in GEF 2.2?
e.g. like the one you can find in the WSAD 5.0 JSP editor?

Hi Randy,

I know this was discussed before, but are there any plans to add Bezier
curve figure support to draw2d?
