dear nicolai / all,
heres my cheat sheet for diagram partitioning. i checked it several
times but since it contains quite much steps there may still remain some
unobviousities :).
if somebody improves it let me know the changes so we can post a
consistent version on the wiki page...

This cheat sheet may help you to make an diagram which is layered. Clicking on the "partitioning element" will open an editor with the particular toolbar entries for this element. It may help you to structure your information / model. To do the CheatSheet it may help you to have basic knowledge in editing ecore diagrams and working with EMF/GMF. But don´t hesitate just try...
</description>
</intro>
<item title="Ecore Model" dialog="true" skip="false">
<description>
We will do a partitioned Diagram from one ecore model. So at first we build a very basic ecore model.
Create a new ecore file and leave the blank name My.ecore.

<description>
Now add three classes to your file. The first we call "ModelBase", the second "TopClass" and the third one "SubClass". Link the classes that ModelBase contains TopClass and name it "aggregation". Link equally that TopClass contains SubClass and name it "contain".

To create the required Models you may use the GMF Dashboard. Go to Window -> Show View -> Other and find it in folder General. Now load the My.ecore as Domain Model.

the wizards continue to evolve. IMHO the graph, tool and map wizard
could be combined)
Thanks again :)

Hi Hannes,
Thank you very much for your great work. I'm new to the partitioning
topic, so instead of searching 100 threads I just tried your Cheat Sheet.
Just my 2 cents:
- Shouldn't the creation of an empty (EMF?) project be in the very first
step?
- The aggregations should be described more precise ( 0 to many etc.)
Perhapse provide an ecore file?
- explain which diagram will hold nodes of which type
I had no problems creating a partitioning example!
Thanks,
Andreas

Hi,
what is the reason of duplicating the genmodel? Why should the sub
diagram use another domain model?

Sorry, you lost me.. What do you mean?
I have som thoughts about the sheet:
Point 11 says:
"Duplicated .genmodel: ..., save the file and generate again model and
edit code."
- Is this necessary? (I don't do it and it works) If it is, it should
rather say: "right-click the new genmodel and generate model and edit code.
Also, I thought the point of duplicating the genmodel, was that the
subdiagram.gmfgen should use the dup rather then the original. I might
be wrong here, but loading the dup genmodel into the sub gmfgen - and
then set the property: "Editor -> Domain Gen Model" to the dup, seems to
work great for me.

Tomas Zijdemans
