Graphical Overview on the palette [message #185404]

Hi all,

I have read throught the newsgroup and looked at the logic example and I
understand that the graphical overview can be displayed in the outline
view.

My goal is to display the overview inside the palette view rather then
on the outline. The reason for this is because our ultimate goal is to
have the plugin run on the eclipse RCP with the minimal amount of
supporting plugins. Is this possible? or is having the overview reside
in the outline my only option.

Thanks for your help.
Robert

You can place the overview anywhere you can place a Canvas. So, you could
subdivide the palette area into two controls, one being a FigureCanvas
containing an overview.

Hi,

There are a number of composites providing the palette:

For example, look at FlyoutPaletteComposite - the more complex case;-)
In createPaletteContainer() the PaletteComposite is created - and
visibility depending on the flyout state is done in the layout() method.

What I did yesterday inspired by your question:
Add another composite that contains the thumb at this place and adapt
the layout method to place that composite correctly.

Hope that helps you,

Lorenz
