Creating an Image of the figures [message #148806]

Hi,

Hi,

I was wondering how I could draw all the figures contained in my editor onto
an image. I used to do this:

IFigure figure = null;
if (root.getContents() instanceof FloorEditPart) //Always true in my
case
figure = ((FloorEditPart)root.getContents()).getFigure();
else
figure=root.getFigure();//Doesn't work either

Image img = new Image(null, figure.getPreferredSize().width,
figure.getPreferredSize().height);

GC gc = new GC(img);
Graphics graphics = new SWTGraphics(gc);
figure.paint(graphics);
graphics.dispose();
gc.dispose();
return img;

but I discovered that if the figures are bigger than the displayable area,
then only the visible parts of the figures appear on the image. How can I
get the whole thing?

Thank you very much, Guillaume

You should be getting the PRINTABLE_LAYERS from the LayerManager, and
creating an image the same size as it, don't ask preferred size.

Do you mean that the Image you are creating is bigger than the screen? You
can scale images.

I tried that but unfortunately, I couldn't get i to work, it gives the same
result as before. Maybe I'm not coding something right:
IFigure figure =root.getLayer(LayerConstants.PRINTABLE_LAYERS);

Image img = new Image(null, figure.getSize().width,
figure.getSize().height);

GC gc = new GC(img);
Graphics graphics = new SWTGraphics(gc);
figure.paint(graphics);
graphics.dispose();
gc.dispose();
return img;

root is a ScalableFreeFormRootEditPart and I use a FreeFormLayer as the
container for the child figures.

@Pratik :
The image I'am creating might be bigger than the screen but it doesn't
matter in this case. The problem is that the editor displays only a small
part of the whole thing. And the image I get after running the code up
there, is only what is displayed (the small part), not the rest of it.

Thank you in advance,

Guillaume
