Two kinds of connections [message #218369]

Hi,

I have two kinds of connections. It is possible that between any
two verteces two different kinde of edges are drawn.
Visually the edges differ in the line width and color.

I would like to enforce that the connection type A is always
drawn on top of connection type B. I couldn't find a mechanism
how to assure that.

Thanks.

Connections are typically stored in a different layout called the
ConnectionLayer. It may be possible to have 2 different ConnectionLayers
with the desired z-order you're looking for. Then when connections are
added to the connection layer you would differentiate based on type.

connection z-order is not important in GEF and you could control it in your
application. In your connection editpart, you could override:

protected void activateFigure() {
getLayer(CONNECTION_LAYER).add(getFigure());
}

to be:

protected void activateFigure() {
getLayer(CONNECTION_LAYER).add(getFigure(), shouldBeOntop() ? -1 : 0);
}
