How to change node's image? [message #152805]

Hi all,
I'm working on a graphical editor using GMF dashboard.
I know how to change the small icon inside the palette, concerning my nodes.
But when I insert a node in my diagrams, in the upper left corner there's
always the default icon.
I tried to change the "Large bundle image" but it doesn't work. And what
exactly "Large bundle image" stands for???
I also tried to study the Taipan example from Eclispe, but I didn't
understand... :-(

So, is it possible to change the node's image? How?

Hi
Marco

I don't know if there is an easyer method, i changed the getImage()
methods in the generated .edit plugin. You will find this method in the
XXXItemProvider.java. If you change code there, don't forget to add a
"NOT" behind the @generated tag.

Tnx, but I'd like not to modify the Java code if it's possible. :-\
The only solution I found at the moment is to overwrite the GIF file created
by Eclipse. But it's not a great solution...

Marco,

The EMF generated code is intended to be specialized by hand so there's
no need to avoid that. It's of course fine (and better) to replace the
generated GIFs since these are just placeholders for your own graphical
talents. The generator will never overwrite an existing .gif file.

Marco,

Sorry, I have no idea. I can only answer the EMF parts of questions here...

You can set a property in the palette options to show "large icons". So
you can define 2 different icons for every tool, a small one and a
detailed larger one.

The options you get at runtime i forgot to say. By rightklicking in the
palette :).
