Starting out [message #206997]

I'm just starting out with GEF, and trying to get the pieces sorted out. I've got what seems to be a straightforward problem, which might be trivial or might indicate a basic misconception.

I've put together something loosely modeled on the Shapes example. What I want it to do is to create a shape contained within a shape. My code seems to do that, but not display the embedded shape at all.

In my case the outer shape is a RoundedRectangle, and the inner a RectangularFigure. Either of these, added to the model at the top level, displays fine. However, if one is a child of the other, the child does not display.

Now I've expanded the model to support children, and I see the child there. I also see the appropriate EditParts created for both the parent and child. But I never see the child painted.

So, am I misunderstanding how to create this relationship? And if not, what 'minor' things should I be looking at to understand this behavior?

Thanks.
