Hi all,

I want to insert an .png image in a diagram node (no SVG). Has anyone experience to share on the subject?

What I did till now is:
- Created Figure descriptor in .gmfgraph by adding Rectangle->CustomFigure.
- Did the following changes in my XXEditPart code:

-----------------------------------------------
Image img = new Image(Display.getDefault(),"path_to_my_img");

ImageFigure imgF = new ImageFigure();
imgF.setImage(img);

// Add it to the figure
this.add(imgF);

// Set figure size as picture size
this.setMaximumSize(imgF.getSize());
this.setMinimumSize(imgF.getSize());

-----------------------------------------------

But no image appears on the diagram.

I'm looking forward to hear any suggestion.

Thanks,
Hristina

Hi Hristina,

you could try to embed the png picture into an SVG file and use GMFGraph Model's capabilities for doing your job without any coding. This will save you the effort to customize the code generation templates in the end. What is the reason for insisting on PNG? If you use SVG figures your diagram will look much nicer in the end.
