editor with no palette..Possible? [message #147968]

I have a GEF editor that now has just two palette entries, the selection
tool and the connection tool.

To save space I want to move these two tools to the toolbar, or the like.
This will allow me to remove th palette compeletely.

Can this be done...? For example make a button press choose the selection
tool.?

Thanks,
Mark.

I did this once, so, yes, it is possible. But I ditched it as my editor
looked way too different to all the other IBM GEF based graphical editors.
Another option you might consider is instead of having the tools on the
toolbar, having then as part of your context pop-up menu.

Sure. Take a look at GraphicalEditor class.

What about a GraphicalEditorWithFlyoutPalette ?

The palette docks itself automatically so it only takes a few pixels from
the view. It also allows you to lock the dockstate or to switch the palette
in a independent view.

The class is quite easy to implement and all you have to do is provide a
regular palette like before, GEF will handle all the troubles:-)
