I am new to this and I am trying to get my head around the various models
and wizards that are used to create them. Currently I am looking at the
"Simple Graphical Definition Model". I have selected my ecore domain model
and it shows me a list of diagram elements that it has derived from my ecore
model. The question is what is going on here? Why do I select just one
element of my model and how do I know which one I should select? Any
insight on what the purpose of this stage in the wizard is doing?



Thanks

You have a domain (ecore) model; suppose there is an A class that you
wish to have as a node on diagram. You will need to define figure for it
and diagram node element in gmfgraph model that describes other visual
node properties. So when you run the wizard there is a checkbox next to
the A class to create some default figure and node definition for it.

In other words just run this wizard over the ecore model to get more or
less reasonable gmfgraph model; do not bother with checkboxes; modify
this model later in editor to fit you particular needs.
