Simple Text compartment? [message #216300]

I have nodes with a simple multi-line label showing some text, as well as
a name for the node.

I thought i'd use a compartment to contain the text, so that it could be
opened and closed (to hide it out of the way when its not wanted).
However, from what i've seen, compartments are really to contain other
nodes.

Is this right? How could i use a compartment to just contain a label for
my figure so that i can open and close it?

Hi,

Compartment is meant to be a subview. Text compartment is really a label,
it doesn't have expand/collapse functionality, hence it has to be
implemented manually.
There is an option that requires the least amount of work though. Create a
compartment view (Node + DrawerStyle, possibly DescriptionStyle if
labels's text doesn't come from the semantics). Editpart of the
compartment will have a TextCompartmentEditPart as a child.
TextCompartmentEditPart will point to the compartment as its model.
Another option is decorating the compartment view with the label view.
Hopr this helps.

Cheers,
Alex
