The problem is that the figure hierarchy hasn't had a chance to validate
yet. When it's in the invalid state, there's no guarantee that the results
are correct. So, you can either force the validation to happen right away,
as follows:
canvas.getLightweightSystem().getRootFigure().validate();
OR
canvas.getLightweightSystem().getUpdateManager().performUpda te();
Or you can just wait for the update manager to validate the figures
asynchronously on the Display thread and just get your preferred size
afterwards. As follows:
display.asyncExec(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
System.out.println(figure.getPreferredSize());
}
});
Since you're queuing your code asynchronously on the display thread as well
in the above example, you're guaranteed that the UpdateManager would've had
a chance to run before your code is executed.
