Is this a custom layout that you're using? Perhaps the constraints of the
children haven't been registered when you're laying out? Are you explicitly
forcing a layout? A layout will be triggered on its own when the child
figure is added to the parent. Using smart constraints (-1 means the
preferred size), you should be able to do this within the current framework.

Figure#invalidateTree() can be used to invalidate the entire figure

root figure, and when validation happens, everything will be laid out again
for you. You shouldn't be invoking layout or repaint explicitly.

Hi,
I tried to use the invalidateTree() and revalidateTree() on my root figures
but it does not help me. The reason I see is that the width and height of my
figures is determined only when child edit part are created. Here is what I
have -
A ClassEditPart with all its attributes shown in teh UML editor.
Next I select this class and say show children
Now the child class view nodes are created and added to the parent view node
This will trigger creation of a ClassEditPart for each of the child view
node objects.
When a ClassEditpart is created it will internally then trigger adding
AttributeEditParts for each class
Thus until all edit parts are created I do not know what is the width and
height of each figure to do my layout.
Could you let me know how I can pre-calculate the width and height of the
edit parts and then trigger a relayout?
It would help if you can point me to some examples or articles on GEF
layouts.
Thanks,
Rashmy
