What are the preconditions in draw2d for making PolylineConnection actually appear? [message #216177]

The example article http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-GEF-Draw2d/GEF-Draw2 d.html suggests that
the following code should make connections (lines) between IFigure's appear; but it does not do so:

final PolylineConnection c = new PolylineConnection();
ChopboxAnchor sourceAnchor = new ChopboxAnchor(figure1);
ChopboxAnchor targetAnchor = new ChopboxAnchor(figure2);
c.setSourceAnchor(sourceAnchor);
c.setTargetAnchor(targetAnchor);

final PolygonDecoration decoration = new PolygonDecoration();
final PointList decorationPointList = new PointList();
decorationPointList.addPoint(0, 0);
decorationPointList.addPoint(-2, 2);
decorationPointList.addPoint(-4, 0);
decorationPointList.addPoint(-2, -2);
decoration.setTemplate(decorationPointList);
c.setTargetDecoration(decoration);

Both figure1 and figure2 exist (are non-null) and have been added to their "parent" IFigure when
this code is called.

So what else do I need to do, that is not mentioned in the article?

thanks,
Paul
