Hi,
i wrinting a plugin with a own perspective.
My plugin is a kind of monitor so it has a huge set of views i have to
show in the perspective.
I wish to splitt my perspective to 3 horizonatal and 3 verstial areas
(like #)and add to each area a view.
Until folder creation i can only provide a size related to the
allignment i.e. IPageLayout.LEFT.
IFolderLayout folder2 = layout.createFolder("MS", IPageLayout.LEFT,
0.3F, layout.getEditorArea());
folder2.addView(IHmcViewIds.MS_VIEW_ID);
Any hints?
Thanks
Stefan

Contribute the perspective using the org.eclipse.ui.perspectives
extension point. Extension needs to implement IPerspectiveFactory.
Implement the createInitialLayout method and manipulate the
IPageLayout object (argument of createInitialLayout).
Examples:
pageLayout.addView(ID_OF_VIEW,
IPageLayout.LEFT/RIGHT/TOP/BOTTOM,0.xxf,editorArea);
Ok this is what you should already do. What you can do now is
to create a perspective within your workbench, which looks
exactly the same way, you want want your perspective to look.
Now save the perspective as 'MyLovlyPerspective'. Save it and
exit the workbench. Now search for any file containing the string
'MyLovlyPerspective' within the .metadata directory of your
workbench directory. You will found some files like workbench.xml
or pref_store.ini. These files store the structure of the perspective
MyLovlyPerspective and you can look at the xml tags and how
they are structured. You can replicate the xml structure using
pageLayout methods. (should be easy though).
Think that will keeps you on track. You wont need to design
your perspective on paper, which is surly a pain.
Bye,

Well thats the good old flow layout style. There is no way to fill a folder
like this. Remember what a perspective is composed of. You can split
it the way you like using two seperate splits with diffrent orrientations.

Again try to take a view and move it around within a perspective. You
will notice that every perspective is composed of a tree like hierarchy of
horizontal or vertical splits.
