Hi,

anyone can give me an simple example on how to use the
FanRouter/ShortestPathConnectionRouter? I cannot find any tutorial or
articles touching on these classes.

what I need to implement is when I drag connections to connect the
figures, I want them to be routed automactially with proper bendpoints and
with as few collisions as possible. not sure whether I can just use the
two classes to fulfill my purpose or not. if not, to what extent do I need
to implement on my own instead of just using these classes? thanks.

In the logic example, click on the diagram. Then in the properties view,
change the router type to Shortest Path. That uses the ShortestPath + Fan
router. Look at the code to see how its done.

thanks for your answer.
could you tell me how to get this example as a jar file? I tried to search
it on the net, but can only find the cvs on the dev.eclipse.org.

you can download the gef sdk + examples or just the examples from
http://download.eclipse.org/tools/gef/downloads/drops/R-3.2. 1-200609211617/index.php
The logic example is included in the examples.
Unzip the examples into your plugins folder.
Import the example plugin into your workspace to browse the source code.

Regards,

Thomas
