Has anyone got any examples of how to use the TextFlow stuff in
draw2d.text? Specifically, I'm trying to create a feedback figure that
displays wrapped text. I can create a Label with unwrapped text and this
works fine. But everything I try to do with TextFlow layout stuff keeps
throwing NPE's because a FlowContext isn't being set. What's strange is
that the protected call createDefaultFlowLayout() in FlowFigure's
constructor creates a ParagraphTextLayout when called on TextFlow, which
doesn't seem to have a FlowContext set either.

Regards,

Cameron

Oops, I should also say I'm using Eclipse 3.0 with the match GEF release
build.

FlowPage page = new FlowPage();
page.add(new TextFlow("Some text that needs wrapping.");

You can search for its usage in our examples.
