here I wrote a *EditPart* and overrode the method *createFigure* like
this below:
protected void createFigure()
{
String file_path = ...
Image img = new Image(null,file_path);
ImageFigure image_figure = new ImageFigure(img);
image_figure.setOpaque(true);
return image_figure;
}
As you know, image is OS-dependent resource, it doesn't destroy except
explicitly release, but I didn't found the *dispose* method in IFigure
or EditPart.
Thanks a lot!

Thanks you Alex, I selected the most foolish way to solve this problem,
that is, to create a help class ResourceManager to manage some resource
that can't be collected by GC for EditorPart, which includes the method
dispose.
The class ResourceManager is used to cache the resource needed by Figure
such as image, font and color, it also contains a method dispose to
destroy any resource when the EditorPart's method 'dispose' be invoked.
If I put the Create-Destroy process in the methods 'activate' and
'deactivate', there are two disadvantages:
1. Create-Destroy is a little more frequent, need more CPU calculations
2. Can't be reused if two figures need the same image or resource.
Thanks again!
