Hi,
I failed to display an SVG image as a node in my GMF editor.
I tried the method in the BPMN tutorial, and only the box with the cross
appeared.
GMF Experimental SDK doesn't contain classes SVGFigure, SVGUtils anymore,
used in the Taipan example.
I searched the newsgroup and there are similar questions but they aren't
resolved, or if yes, it is not described how.
So, could I have a HowTo that explains how to do this?
Thanks in advance,
thSoft

Hello Dennis,

SVGFigure is a part of .gmfgraph model, but you should be working with latest
GMF integration build to get it (it was added just after last GMF release,
so it was not released yet).

Thanks. I tried to install the latest integration build, but Eclipse 3.4.1
says:
Cannot find a solution satisfying the following requirements
Match[requiredCapability:
org.eclipse.equinox.p2.iu/org.apache.xerces/[2.9.0.v20090924 0008,2.9.0.v200909240008]].
Eclipse 3.5M4 says:
Cannot find a solution satisfying the following requirements
org.eclipse.debug.ui [3.4.1.v20080811_r341].
What's wrong with the old, BPMN-tutorial way?

I finally managed to get SVG figures working under GMF 2.1.2 with the BPMN
tutorial and this bug:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=180675 My question is: how
to update the SVG figure according to a changing attribute of the semantic
element, i.e. what should I write in the EditPart's
handleNotificationEvent() method to have the figure refreshed? (I create
the figure in the createNodeShape() method, as in the BPMN tutorial.)
Thanks in advance!

Hello Dennis,

Do you mean SVG figure (created using custom figure) should be changed based
on some properties of domain model element? If want to repaint existing figure
then you can call Figure.revalidate(). If you have to perform some complex
update then I suggest creating specific method for this update process and
then call it: MyCustomFigure.updateContent() method.
