After almost two years of using GEF, I have to say that sometimes the
coordinate system still confuses me. In this instance I want to simply
test to see whether two figures intersect (one is some text on a
connection edge, the other is a node - although this detail is probably
not relevant).
So given those two figures:
IFigure text;
IFigure node;
My understanding is that text.getBounds().intersect(node.getBounds()) is
not guaranteed to work since each figure return the bounds according to
its coordinate system. However I thought that ensuring both bounds were
absolute:
Rectangle textRect = text.getBounds().getCopy();
text.translateToAbsolute(textRect);
Rectangle nodeRect = node.getBounds().getCopy();
node.translateToAbsolute(nodeRect);
would guarantee that both rectangles are in the same coordinate system,
and I could susbsequently test for:
textRect.getBounds().intersects(nodeRect);
However, this doesn't seem to work. Any ideas?
Thanks.

There is no getBounds() method on Rectangle, so you couldn't possibly be
doing exactly what you mention here. If you're invoking text.getBounds()
here, that obviously is your problem.
