Hello Steve,
to display child nodes outside of a compartment, like ports in UML, you
have to remove the compartment mapping entries for the child node. this
will place the child as border item just next to the parent. but there
would be no space for a connection. if you want to put the child
somewhere on the canvas I guess you have to define a LinkMapping and
select the parent-child containment feature as target feature in the
mapping. There would be no need for a compartment.

Enrico

Hi,
A LinkMapping allows you to map a domain information, a Connection
defined in the gmfgraph model and a palette entry. This domain info can be:
1- A class. Its instances will be represented with the specified
connections. You need to define:
* The containment feature: A EReference of the domain class mapped in
the Canvas mapping. Where to find the connection objects.
* The element: the domain class of the connection.
* The source feature, the EReference of this class that identifies
the source element.
* The target feature, the EReference of the class that identifies the
target element.
class Diagram {
EList<Node> nodes = ...;
EList<Link> links = ...; // the containment feature
}
class Node {
}
class Link { // the element
Node source; // the source feature
Node target; // the target feature
}
2- A EReference, what suggests Enrico. To do that you need to define:
* The target feature: the EReference of you container domain class
that specifies where to get its children.
For example, if you want to connect A instances to their contained B
instances:
class A {
EList<B> children = ...;
}
class B {
}
This EReference will be "children".
You can look at the Mindmap example, this is how topics/subtopics
connections are defined.
