Hi,
I would like to create a node that is purely graphic, not linked to the
model. for example exactly as your Note element.

How can I do that?
I have an idea :
- create a mapping with a element of the model, and then modify the
generated code and remove the link to the model and add another id.

Hello Patrick,

You can create .gmfmap file without any references to the domain model. As
a reault you should have "pure notation" diagram.

Hi,

I created a TopNode Reference , there are no references at children feature
and containment feature.
then a create a node mapping where I reference only :
-related diagrams
-Diagram node
-tool.
The validation of thegmf map is ok but at the generation the following
message is displayed: "Errors while creating generator model".
There is nothing in the log.

Hi Patrick,

do you have any link mappings referring to a model element? There is a
bug in GMF:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=219409

Maybe you could vote for it?

Best regards,

Matthias
