editing diagram files by hand [message #223482]

Hello

I'm in need of creating a large set of test data for my editor. I figured
out it would be best to just create a sample structure in my diagram file
and then copy it n-times. Unfortunatelly it does not work - my newly
copied data does not appear on the diagram. What should I watch for when
doing such generation?

- I have a standard - GMF generated serialization, each diagram has a
model file and diagram file
- I tried changing xsi:id for each copied group - so that each had its own
unique one
- I've added elements in diagram file and in model file
- I've changed href attributes in "_diagram" file to point to the correct
element in model file.

Still it does not work.

Any help would be appreciated.

Marcin

Hello Marcin,

I suggest you creating new diagram via GMF notation model API (see org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.diagram.core.services.ViewService)
and save it using EMF resources.

Hello
This seems reasonable, but I'm not able to do it on my own, as I keep
running into problems with it.

Could You direct me to some kind of usage example?

Marcin

Hello Marcin,

See generated ???DiagramEditorUtil - this class is responsible for initializing
diagram for an existing model element. From createDiagram() method you can
realize how to create diagram for an exisitng domain model element. Nodes
can be created in a similar way - just use ViewService.createNode() method
instead.
