Hi,
I've been playing around with the generation of the figure plug-in a
little bit, and have a few questions:
1) The generator ignores FigureDescriptors which don't have a Node or
Connection element pointing to it. Why is that? As Nodes/Connections
don't really appear in the generated code, I'd expect one generated for
every FigureDescriptor. Why do Nodes / Connections etc. matter in the
figure plug-in generation at all?
2) In the generated plug-in there are two versions of the
"mirrored.gmfgraph" model. One is in the root directory and is a
complete copy of the original file. The other is in the models folder
and contains nothing but an empty figure gallery. None really makes
sense to me, beause when I want to reuse figure, I need exactly its
Figure Descriptor (and its children) and I don't need referencing nodes,
connectionc etc. I'd expect that file in the model folder.
3) Given 1) and 2) I'd expect to be able to generate a separate figure
plug-in for each figure gallery in a gmfgraph model.
Maybe you can help clarifying these issues?
Regards
Jan
