A Shape Diagram Editor
by Bo Majewski, Cisco Systems, Inc.
Abstract: Graphical Editing Framework (GEF) provides a powerful foundation for creating editors for
visual editing of arbitrary models. Its effectiveness lies in a modular build, fitting use of design
patterns, and decoupling of components that comprise a full, working editor. To a newcomer, the
sheer number and variety of concepts and techniques present in GEF may feel intimidating. However,
once learned and correctly used, they help to develop highly scalable and easy to maintain software.
This article aims to provide a gentle yet comprehensive introduction to GEF. It describes a shape
diagram editor - a small, fully functional test case of core concepts.
