Hi,

Could someone please help on how to change the z-order of the line figure?

What I need to do is to connect 2 image figures together at the center point
of the image figure and I want the line figure to be drawn under the figure
instead on the front, such that the line will not block the image figure.

Thanks
slam

Are you working with plain draw2d or with GEF?
If you are working with GEF then if the line is connection, the easiest way
would be to swap connection and main layers - so the connection layer is
under the main layer. If the line is an edit part on its own than change the
order in the parent edit part getModelChildren method.

Mine is a GEF model. That is exactly what I need to know how to swap the
ConnectionLayer and the MainLayer. Thanks.
