Hello everybody,

Between two figures i want to have a manhattan connection. I also want to
have a number of bend points.

Now the background is I am using GEF editor only as a viewer. So i have to
create a model initializing the data and then do
setContents(diagramContainer).

How exactly i have to deal with bend points?
Any links, any code will definitely help me.

Thank you very much
Best Regards
Shruthi

I believe if you are using the ManhattanRouter, it will ignore any
bendpoints. I think you will need to create a custom router to achieve this.

We had a similar problem and ended up creating our own bend points, here is
what we did:

List bendsPoints = new ArrayList();
bendPoints.add(new AbsoluteBendpoint(x, y));
// keep adding your bendpoints...

PolylineConnection line = (PolylineConnection)getConnectionFigure();
line.setRoutingConstraint(bends);

Assumptions:
- "bendPoints" is a list with the bendpoints you want to add to your
connection
- "line" is your connection

We do this in our connection edit part every time the model fires a
PropertyChangeEvent and needs to refresh our connections (simililar to
#refreshVisuals()).

Hope this helps,
Pablo
