Hello,
I am trying to set the position of a figure on the diagram, but it's not
working. I want to create (in code) some objects, when the model is created,
before the diagram is shown up. I create them, but I can not "tell" the
application where exactly to put them on the diagram.
I set the Location inside every figure, in the .gmfgraph file, and I was
expecting to see the results on the diagram. The other object that contains
them has a XYLayout. But, unfortunately, it doesn't work. All the elements
are created into the upper left corner of the "parent" object.
Where did I go wrong? What to do? Please, help! Thanks,
Floppy

I also tried with the EditPolicies. I've created a new CreationEditPolicy
for the "father" object and I've
overridden the "getCreateElementAndViewCommand" and "getCreateCommand"
methods
and put some breakpoints.
I noticed that the "getCreateCommand" is called when the diagram file is
created (new). The second method: "getCreateElementAndViewCommand" is called
when you create a new object ON the diagram (from the palette, for example),
meaning you already have the diagram open.
I want to create (in code) some objects, when the model is created, before
the diagram is shown up. I create them, but I can not "tell" the application
where exactly to put them on the diagram. So, it seems that the first method
would do for me...
:-( But, in "getCreateCommand" method, the request contains a reference to a
list of ALL the contained "children", so I cannot tell the request to set a
different location for every "child". I don't know how to handle with this
situation... I tried also to set the locations for the figures into the
..gmfgraph file, but there's no use.
Did I make myself clear? Is there any solution? Please, help. Thanks,
