Why use Graphiti? And not simple SWT. Do you want to have a table integrated inside your diagram? If yes? Wouldn't it be easier to double click on a special pictogram element and open your table in a window.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I wanted to use SWT only but

The point is it needs to be represented in an editor.

I have thought of your idea of representing the matrix in a new view on double clicking a pictogram.The problem is in the matrix i want to represent some more things like highlight using a line from a particular value in nth row and mth column to another value in other row and column. which i don't think is possible via SWT

I think it will be much easier to wrap TableViewer with your logic code (you can format cells contents) than implementing your table in Graphiti. Wtih Table you can do quite a lot. You can set selection listeners and depending on values you can look for other cells to change their style. With Graphiti you would have to create this logic as well and moreover implement graphical representation for the table using basic shapes. As I know you don't have any table shape.
