Hello guys,
im still working on a custom GMF Editor.
My aim is to have 2 areas where i can rescrict which subnodes I can add
there.
I realized it with 2 nodes filling the complete editor area.
Here u can take a look:

Now I want that those two "main" nodes only show the compartment areas
where i can add the subnodes.

It is possible, and what would be the best way to realize it?

Thanks in advance,
Patrick

Hello Patrick,

you have to remove label mappings for these "main" nodes and specify proper
layout manager.layout constraints for node figures in .gmfgraph model to
stretch compartment figure to fill whole available space.

I have done this, looks good, compartment fills now the upper half of the
node.

Hello Patrick,

In .gmfgraph you have a Rectangle representing node shape and another one
representing compartment. Actual compartment figure will be places inside
that second rectangle.
You can use StackLayout for the first rectangle then secons one should be
using all the available pspace.

I have only one rectangle for the node shape.
When i use stack layout for it, the compartment is minimized at the top of
the node.

Sounds like i have to add a second rectangle and connect this with the
compartment, and use stack layout then.

I have a quite big problem with that solution,
setting background and foreground Colour doesnt affect anymore neither I
set it on the node rectangle nor on the compartment rectangle.

Any ideas ?
