Snap to grid on creation? [message #167764]

I noticed in the logic example, that parts snap to the grid when they
are moved or resized. What changes would be involved to make it so
that new parts snap to the grid when they are dropped onto the figure
canvas? I can't figure out how to do this.

You could add a layout editpolicy to the parent editpart and do the
stuff in createChangeConstraintCommand method.

I think this should work.

You should do this in CreationTool#updateTargetRequest(). Look at how
DragEditPartsTracker#updateTargetRequest() does that.

Pratik, size-on-create snaps, but accepting the default size on create does
not snap.

So how do I do it? BTW, I'm not using a Palette. I add a part by
listening for a mouse click on the figure canvas, then I instantiate my
own CreateRequest and CreateCommand.

You'll have to send that request through the SnapToHelper. See how other
tools work with that interface.
