Hello.
As i know, editors open in editor area only, but i want to open my
"diagram" like a view. Can i do that?

I need one editor for 2 purposes :
1)only showing the diagram, not edit
2)some edit, without a save..
Help me pls to find a way to realize that.

Hi Alexey,

I am not sure if this is a solution. Views are like editors. They have
the "createPartControl" where you can create a GraphicalViewer attached
to a canvas. The you can read your model and connect it to the Viewer
and it will create all the parts and figures as if read from an editor.

I have not checked this for myself but if a previous version of my code
I did it under a standalone application and the viewer was able to
display figures.

I may send you code to show how I create the viewer inside the editor
page that should also work for the View contents.

Best regards

Hey Alexey,

Look at the Outline View RCP/GEF provides, it has the capability to show
you a smaller version of the editor in a viewpart, and its not editable.
You should be able to find an example of the outline being used in the
logic example.

Hello Cam,

Thanks for advise, but i think the OutlineView - is a view, not editor.

I tried to create ViewPart implements IEditorPart, try to create
EditorPart implements IViewPart - have no results (somewhere deep Eclipse
choose - what kind of part i use : IEditorPart or IViewPart). This two
parts are uncompatible, i think now.

Hi Luis!

Thanks, i think so.
For my first purpose, i realize a view with LightweightSystem and place my
model's figures there.

But second purpose - i want to do some wizard, using gef-editor (on wizard
page). I'm not trying to do it yet, but think i'll take a problem there..

Hi Alexey

The Directed Graph Example (Digraph1) also provides an example of a GEF
view.

Hi Alexey,

When you say you want to change your input for the view, you mean you want
to replace your model for the view with a different model?

I would refresh your root edit part which will replace the children with a
new view of the model.

Cheers...
