Label positioning [message #196621]

Hi all.
I'm trying to understand how to make a label be positioned below an
element, horizontally centered, like this:

(O)
[Label]

In my gmfgraph file, the label isn't defined inside the element figure, but
associeted with it in the gmfmap file.
Could anyone give me a tip? I wasn't able to find a way to manage it...

Hello Mojique,

You can define invisible rectangle and put label and existing node figure
into it, then use normal layouts to layout label in the center of rectangle.

Thank you Alex. Now i wonder whether wrapping the "real" element figure
with an invisible rectangle will make the incoming/outgoing links be
attached to the edge of the invisible figure: this wouldn't be my preferred
behaviour...

Hi All,

Even i have similar problem where label is associated to the ends of the
connection ,so in my xxxConnectionEditPart the labels are not getting
created inside the Figure class.Hence the addFixedChild() throws
compilation error.

But in my gmfmap the labels are associated properlly.

Any idea why its happening this way..

Note : for now i manually create wrapLabels in Figure class.(Though it
should have been generated automatically)

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Shwetha

Hello Shwetha,

Usually this means you have used incorrect figure for parent of the label
(or for the label itself).
Wich particular compilation error do you have?
If you are going to create label located outside of main figure then you
can reuse org.eclipse.gmf.graphdef/models/basic.gmfgraph/Label diagram label
for it.
