Extending GEF Shape Example [message #248766]

I'm exteding the Shape example and would like to add supprt for a
connection which can connect to source i.e. source = target. I have
removed the limitation in ConnectionCreateCommand, however
ConnectionEditPart still doesn't draw it like a loop, the
ConnectionEditPart is using PolyLineConnection when createFigure is called.

Thanks for your time/suggestions.

Dear Manpreet

To my knowledge Self Connected Loop is not a feature from GEF. As the
starting and the ending point are the same anchor points, the lines are not
seen. You need to write a figure that extends PolylineConnection and
implement a new type for Self Loop Back.

Hope this helps.

Malai
