Somebody? Come on... PLEASE?
At least can you tell me what I am doing wrong - here are the model files
for an example library project - library with "left" and "right" books.
The results when I change the Library figure's layout are... well, strange.
With no layout defined in gmfgraph I get two compartments, one below the
other, with books in them - this is OK, I guess. When I add a FlowLayout to
the Library figure, the compartments are next to the Library name label
ordered in one row - exactly what is expected from FlowLayout. But when I
remove the FlowLayout and add BorderLayout and add BorderLayoutData for the
childs, the results are definitely not as expected - but compartments
disappear and I can not see any childes books.
Am I doing something wrong?

Hash: SHA1
try specifing preferred size and/or minimum size for each figure
involved. Draw2D Figures return -1 for getMinimum size when no minSize
or prefSize is defined. Based on the LayoutManager -1 is sometimes
handeled as maximum available size, which might result in overdrawing
other elements. Afaik this happens for the center of BorderLayout.

Thanks for answering!
Unfortunately this don't change the described behavior... something else is
missing...

Nobody knows how to layout the child elements using BorderLayout?
Should I report a bug for this behavior? From my tests it sure looks like a
bug...

Hi Cherie,
thanks for answering, I use currently exactly affixed parent side in my
prototype - this is working more or less as expected.
My question is about the layout usage in GMF - the example is with
BorderLayout, but the same issue is noticed with other layouts as well -
GrigLayout as example. Somehow I am not able to use other layout than Flow
and XY.
I posted the model files - probably I do something wrong? But what? Same
models work fline with only changing the layout to Flow.
Any further help is greatly appreciated...

Krassimir,
The last time I checked, the affixed parent side figures have their
locations determined by a locator. The layouts you mentioned should not
be affecting the affixed parent side figures. Put a breakpoint in the
setBounds() of the affixed parent side figure to see how it's location
is being set.
Regards,
Cherie

Perhaps I am not asking my question very clear...
In the example application I posted there are no elements with affixed
parent side set. This is also not my intention. I "simply" try to use the
provided layouts. When I do this with "static" elements, the layouts seem to
function OK - I can easy display 20 boxes with different colors in 5 rows, 4
columns per row. But when I try to use childs, instead of static elements,
the childs are not ordered in 5 rows, 4 columns per row - they are not
displayed at all.
I don't think the question is concerning the affixed parent side feature,
please correct me if I am wrong?
Can anyone please post a simple example using BorderLayout or GridLayout?
Any ideas/suggestions/explanations are more than welcome...
Regards,
Krasi

somehow I am not able to do it right. What I want to achieve is the
following - one figure which children (two types of children) are
displayed left and right (according to the type) at the figure rand. I
thought using BorderLayout and two compartments for the childes, but I
can't get it right. The best I got was by using affixed parent side, bit
this solution seems not stable enough Child arrangement orders- when I resize the figure or add
more childes, it is not clear where the new child will appear - on top,
bottom or even on the opposite side of the figure - when there are more
childes.
This is what I want to achieve:

Can someone please post an example how a parent can layout it's childes?
Some clues at least?
Thanks a lot, I am really stuck for some time...

To achieve the desired layout with children displayed on the left and right sides of a figure, you can use a combination of layout managers. Here's an example using Java Swing's BorderLayout:
java
Copy code
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
public class ParentLayoutExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Parent Layout Example");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
JPanel parentPanel = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
// Create child panels
JPanel leftChild = new JPanel();
JPanel rightChild = new JPanel();
// Set background color for clarity
leftChild.setBackground(java.awt.Color.GREEN);
rightChild.setBackground(java.awt.Color.YELLOW);
// Add child panels to parent panel
parentPanel.add(leftChild, BorderLayout.WEST);
parentPanel.add(rightChild, BorderLayout.EAST);
// Create the figure as a label
JLabel figureLabel = new JLabel("O");
figureLabel.setHorizontalAlignment(JLabel.CENTER);
// Add the figure label to the parent panel's center
parentPanel.add(figureLabel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
// Add the parent panel to the frame's content pane
frame.getContentPane().add(parentPanel);
frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);
}
}
In this example, we create a JPanel called parentPanel as the main container. Then, we create two child panels, leftChild and rightChild, and set their background colors for visual distinction. We add the child panels to the parent panel using BorderLayout.WEST and BorderLayout.EAST positions.
Next, we create a JLabel called figureLabel to represent the figure (in this case, the letter "O"). We set its horizontal alignment to CENTER and add it to the parent panel's center using BorderLayout.CENTER.
Finally, we add the parent panel to the frame's content pane, pack the frame to adjust its size, and make it visible.
This layout ensures that the children are displayed on the left and right sides of the figure, regardless of window resizing or the number of children added.
