With GMF, is it possible to have 2 display objects (in same or different
diagram files) pointing to the same EObject-derived object?
By display objects, I mean instances of a node class generated by GMF.

If it's possible, how to handle display object's instance-specific drawing
data?
Should it be made part of EMF's domain model, or there're some other ways?

What I want to do is to have 2 display objects getting the node name from
the same EObject-derived object, but each display object can have its own
display instance-specific data?

Hope someone understands my question.
I'm just starting to learn/eval EMF/GMF.

Thanks very much.

Hello YA,

You can play with "sortcuts" to the elements. In general. you can create
several "views" on the same domain model object. These "views" could hold
view-specific information (stored in a notation model).
