Hi,
my app has a folder that contains tabbed charts, which works quite well.
however I have been asked to look into a way of displaying the charts
tiled in a "viewing area", eg 3x3 charts. something a but ljke this;
http://www.limepepper.co.uk/images/save_as_active_workspace. jpg
By the looks of it, RCP didn't support tiling ViewParts within a folder,
so I can't see that it would be easy to do in RAP.
However I was thinking that I could have a "tile" button on the folder
menu bar, eg min/max icons, which opens a new View, which in turns
collapses all the currently existing views, and tiles their contents into
new widgets within a GridLayout with 3x3 instead.
Has anyone got any suggestions on the best way to implement this?
Many Thanks,
Tom

Hi Tom,
I'm not sure if I understand your request.
One thing I could imagine is that you have an action/command which just
closes all your diagram views and opens one "dashboard" view. This
dashboard view could then display the diagram contents as widgets inside
a grid layout.
As this question is not RAP-specific you may ask such questions on the
newcomer and rcp newsgroups.
Cheers
Benny

Thanks, I think for the moment I am going to store a list of the contents
in a "session" List and use that to provide the content for my overview.
