Hi all,
While the javadoc is extremely helpful in explaining these methods (e.g.
"validate() - validates the figure"), I'm still totally perplexed as to what
they do, why they do it and when they are/should be called from GEF. Can
someone explain the inner workings of these things?
The problem I'm encountering is that the child figure visuals are not being
updated when I add a child editpart to a container editpart, but the child
visuals *are* updated as soon as I select one of the other child figures on
the diagram.
Thanks!
Bob

Note that none of these methods causes repainting directly. When the parent
moves the figure, it should get repainted in its new location. But often it
is correct to call revalidate() and repaint(). See Label.setText for an
example.
