repositioning a figure [message #248785]

Hi,

I'm making an editor and I want to move or reposition a figure when
another figure is created having shared points. i.e: if the user creates
a new figure and put it above a second figure existing in the diagram,
the editor move down the second figure.

How can I do that? could someone give me a hint?

Thank you in advance

I would suggest handling this at the model level. When an item changes
position, it notifies interested parties of its new position. Some
"container" item can observe this and reposition other items as appropriate.

The figures will reposition automatically if you are following the
standard GEF patterns (model notifies edit part, edit part updates figure).

Let me know if this helps.

Ben
