Dear all

i would like to perform something like the Routing Style available in the
GMF Editor ... Rectilinear or Oblique etc.

How do i do it in GEF Editor ? Any help would be appreciated.

Regards
Malai

Hi,

GMF ObliqueRouter is derived from BendpointConnectionRouter. So you should
use it or your own extension of it with a GEF editor
GMF RectilinearRouter corresponds to ManhattanConnectionRouter.

Cheers,
Alex

Dear Alex

Thanks for your reply .. i checkedout the code for ObliqueRouter from GMF
internal draw2d ... And added to my package ...

I tried to use it in Shapes Editor by commenting the
ShortestPathRouterConnection and also applying the routing stuff in the
ConnectionEditPart ...

And i dont see any output change ... can you please explain ... where do i
need to change to get the routing algo working.

Regards
malai

GMF ObliqueRouter and GEF BendpointConnectionRouter are very similar in
terms of the output connection look.
Differences in GMF ObliqueRouter are:
1) It handles routing around obstruction for a connection
2) Routes separately connection where source == target and where source
and target intersect
3) Ignores bendpoints inside source and target shapes

So, what are your expectations of GMF's ObliqueRouter in GEF? Perhaps, the
behavior you're looking for can be implemented elsewhere... on connection
anchors, or using a different bendpoint constraints...?

Cheers,
Alex

Dear Alex

Thanks for your reply once again ... Ok my expected output is ... when two
lines cross each other one of them needs to jump on the other line ... like
in GMF

If could be a Circular Jump or a Rectangular Jump ... So hope ObliqueRouter
helps me do this ... :)

Ok i get this .. ObliqueRouter helps in connecting the source to itself
again ... :) Hope this understanding is correct now ...

Me really confused with so many classes in GEF but the Framework is
amazingly good.

Thank you very much .. awaiting your reply.

Regards
Malai

Hi,

Those are called "Jump Links" in GMF. Jump Link is a concept defined on
PolylineConnectionEx class in GMF, not on the router.

Cheers,
Alex

Hi Malai,

Jump link in GEF can be achived by using PolylineConnectionEx
class from GMF org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.draw2d.ui plugin.

Niranjan Babu
