hi folks!

I'm developing a design-time tool for a component-based setting.
The component are connected via output ports to input ports.
In my application I'd like to offer 2 perspectives for the same domain:
a. technical one: where each port of the components is illustrated.
b. business one: like business-flow only the components should be
visualized.

Is there a possibility hide certain shapes by an action/perspective switch?
And is it further possible to redraw figures which left over?

Regards,
Amro

Did you get any answer to this question already or found any solution?

We tried this once and did it manually and programmatically by deeply
hacking into the editParts. This was quite ugly and did not work too well.

Maybe you should have a look at the UML2Tools. They have implemented
filters which allow to hide elements. E.g. in the StateMachine Editor
you can select a group of elements and let them hide via the context menu.

Cheers,
Hauke
