GMF should use data from the model to display [message #91700]

Hello everybody.

GMF creates a .whatever containing the model file and a
..whatever_diagram file containing view specific data. Now some of that
data is in my model (like the position and the size of the object) how
can I make GMF use these?

Thanks
Martin

GMF is strongly dedicated to keeeping the semantics (aka "business" logic)
separated from the visuals. May be you can refactor these positions and
sizes
out of your model and let the GMFs notation model deal with them.
Still, If you really want to have it that way then override
"handleNotifications" in your EditParts and transfer the changes of these
parameters to the actual figures.
Good luck
Theo
