Image interaction [message #184573] Tue, 14 June 2005 15:38 Go to next message

Hi,
I've never used GEF before, but I've read many of the articles and looked
at a few of the examples.

I would like to create an editor that allows users to drag, crop, and
resize multiple images in the same window to create a sort of collage
effect. When images overlap, they should interact in a very specific way.
The effect will be something like transparency, but not exactly the same.

Is this a good candiate for a GEF editor? More specifically, can I
control the way overlapping images will appear? Or, should I start from
scratch?

I have implemented this functionality in java.awt, but I have to
incorporate it in an RCP application (for OSX and Windows), which means I
have to write it again. :(

Thanks,
Dan

Yes. Have you explored the SWT-AWT bridge?

As I understand it, the SWT_AWT bridge is not supported for the Mac, which
eliminates is as a possibility. *Please* correct me if I'm wrong -- I
have lots of individual components that I have writtne in java.awt that I
would love to be able to incorporate into my RCP app!
