Hello,
I'm currently starting my thesis, and though the subject is not yet fully
defined, I'd like to focus on the integration of a (e.g. geometric)
constraint solver with visual editors in Eclipse. In order to avoid rework
and ensure collaboration, I'd like to know which other projects/initiatives
around touch upon this subject. Any information you can give me will be
greatly appreciated.
Also, I'd like to hear the opinion of GEF developers: do you often need to
program manually certain constraints like non-overlap of figures or
connections that are maintained when moving objects? Would these (or other
similar) constraints be useful to have automatically handled by a module?
Thanks in advance for your input,

One of the harder problems drawing a diagram is automatically solving any or
all of the following:
1) routing connections without overlapping nodes, but they must be easily
read.
2) label placement given an already routed connection.
3) "node" placement based on the semantics of the connections.
Do you think constraint solving can be applied to these problems?
