Hi,
I want to create for a GEF editor without modifying it an action which
can add a figure (for example a rectangle).
I don't want to add my action in the palette but if possible in a menu.
The figure created doesn't have to be persisted in the diagram file.
Is This kind of action is possible ? And how can i realize it ?
Regards
Alexia

Hi,
I have many GEF editors and I want to add a generic action which permits
to add a figure which mustn't be add on the model, the diagram file.

HI !
i work in the same team as Alexia
Actually we have a plugin which works with some Gef editors : GMF ...
we want to add a menu which permit to add a rectangle on any diagram
working for our plugin.
We have some possibilites :
1) designing a top level generic plugin which only works with gef
possibilites
2) designing a plugin with specific editor capacities
in both way we don't know how to add dynamically a figure which is not
expected by current editor
if somebody has a solution it could be a pleasure :)
Regards
Tristan FAURE
