I'm looking for a GEF sample application that goes beyond the very basic
tutorials. Having read several tutorials and the redbook I'm
struggling to get simple things like zoom working. It would help if I
there was a good sample application which would give me ideas.
The ideal application would have some menu items, support a tree and
thumbnail view and do some custom drawing for the figures. Other
features would be a bonus.
I've got Talend OpenForge on my disk - but at 180 megabytes its like
finding a needle in a haystack. It makes a very good last resort but the
pain of searching it is annoying.
Cheers

Yes I used the Shapes application as inspiration for writing my tool.
I'm currently dissecting the LogicDiagram to help me understand why the
zoomComboContribution isn't not enable in the toolbar.
However I'm unsure does the logic example support a thumbnail? A
treeview? In addition none of the examples I've seen override
connections creation and do any other custom work.
Eventually my goal is to produce an tool that has similar behavior to
Visio (that's the only diagramming tool that my user's know) and so I'm
struggling to find samples that will give the hints to get there. (BTW
my application isn't a drawing tool - it covers a very different problem
domain. I'm interested in Visio just because my end users are familiar
with it.)
Thanks

Have you looked at eclipsewiki.org. There is a HelloGEF tutorial there that
does some interesting stuff. Don't have the complete URL at the moment.

Hi Mark,
we're currently in a students project concerning the implementation of a
GEF editor. For this I developed a basic project with some abstract
classes that should be easy to be used by our students and preventing
them to have to deal with all the complicated Eclipse-related stuff and
to concentrate on the GEF parts.
You could have a look at tfs.cs.tu-berlin.de/roots which is the project
of the last year. The editors that are downloadable there have mostly
undocumented complex code but share some features you meant.
The basic structure is that the main editor consist of a treeviewer that
is able to open several pagebookviews with graphicalviewers. If this is
somewhat you could need I could provide you our actual basic project
template which is now well-documented and offers the same features and
some more (like a view that is configurable how many viewers it should
contain. this was substantial to our project as we are dealing with
graph rules). Just try it out...
Cheers,
Tony
