Printer, graphic export and zoom supports in GEF [message #21232] Thu, 26 September 2002 17:23 Go to next message

Hi all,

Since the launch of our EclipseUML plug-in, we got a lot of requests on
Printer support
Diagram graphic export
Zoom support

These features are limited by GEF. I saw some requests on those supports.
But I don't know their current status. Are they already available ? If
non, when ?

Thanks

Julien

Check out the GEF plan page. (The homepage is
http://www.eclipse.org/gef. In the description paragraph at the top is
a link to the "Project Plan".) Print and zoom support are both
mentioned in the 2.1 plan. I don't know if what you mean by "Diagram
graphic export" is the same as the "Diagram File Format" mentioned under
"Deferred Items" in the plan.

I found the Zoom is in the committed items. It is very good news for us.
But The "print" is still in the "Proposed itmes". But it is less important
if we can export our diagram in image files, which what I call "Diagram
graphic export". Of course, we prefer vector images instead of pixel
image. How about this feature ?

The next question, when the release 2.1 will be available ?

As far as I know, we're planning on following the same schedule as Eclipse.
(Don't quote me on this, though. :) According to the Eclipse plan, "Our target
is to complete 2.1 late in 1Q2003." I'm guessing GEF 2.1 will be released
around the same timeframe.

Actually, other groups have already implemented all three of those items you
mentioned using the current functionality in GEF. But, I agree that Zoom
support belongs in GEF, and possibly some helper classes for using Zoom with
Printing. There are no plans to export graphics to a file.

Zoom should be released in 2.1. I will release draw2d tests that show the
progress/bugs of the Zoom implementation in CVS. Tests and Examples like
this will be dumped in the org.eclipse.draw2d.examples project.

Could you tell me which groups have implemented these features ? Where can
I find it ?
