Hello,

I followed the "Hello World" Sirius project sample with great interest :
http://www.eclipse.org/sirius/getstarted.html

But the tutorial do not explain which operation are required to create a tool for edge creation ...

Is somebody help me to create such a tool ?
I want to be able to graphically draw the edge "father" between (a man or a woman) and a man

Best Regard

Bernard

You fill find some information and sample about EdgeCreationDescription
in the previous topic of the forum [1] [2]

You have to:
* create an EdgeCreationDescription,
* set an id (and optionally a label)
* select the fatherEdge mapping (the possible source and target mappings
are referenced in the mapping).
* add a Change Context element to the Init Edge Creation Node
* set its browse expression: var:source (the source semantic element is
the element you want to modify)
* add a Set Value child to the Change Context
* set its feature name: feature:father
* set its value expression: var:target (the second clicked element is
the father)

Hi,

On the tutorial page [1], you will also find the resulting modeler which
contains several mappings and tools samples.

If you click on 'Download the resources used by this video', the
differents resources used in the video can be donwloaded:
* the Family DSL [2]
* a sample model [3]
* the resulting modeler [4]

Regards,

Maxime
