Hello guys.
I would like to implements a network editor using GEF/Draw2d.
One problem is: how can I design the main symbols
of the editor such a server, router, and so on?
Symbols don't have to be too much beautiful,
but they must have possibility to have more than one
connection (that is they can have one or more network card interface).
Suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I believe that you have to create new Figures (you extend the
org.eclipse.draw2d.Figure class) and later in the appropriate EditPart
in getFigure() method (from AbstractGraphicalEditPart) you have to
return an instance of this new figure.
Hope this helps,

Hi,
I guess exquisitus' question was about how to paint (define painted)
complex figures forming a graphical node in the GEF diagram.
Though this topic seems to be closer to Draw2D than to GEF, I would
suggest using a drawing tool that is able to convert to a readable
vector graphics format (e.g. SVG) and then transfer the vector
description into plain Draw2D figures.
Are there any built-in solutions closer to GEF available? Does anybody
know or can share her or his experience about this?
I would also be interested.
Kinde regards,
Andreas

Hi,
SVG (Standard Vector Graphics) is a XML-based graphics format that
allows to store shapes by their mathematical description. If you view
the plain text content of a XML file, a circle is a circle, an ellipse
is an ellipse, a rectangle is a rectangle and so on.
For me, mapping the mathematical descriptions to the corresponding
Draw2D figures (respectively to the adequate Draw2D paint methods) seems
to be straight forward.
Is there anybody who has tried this already? Can anybody contribute some
piece of code? (=> Open enhancement "Import from SVG"?)
Kind regards,
Andreas
