Copy GEF diagram as WMF? [message #194961]

Does the GEF have support to copy a diagram as a WMF (Windows Meta File) via
the clipboard to another application? Or maybe this is part of SWT?

Is that no to both questions or just the first one?

I think SWT is irrelevant since you're trying to capture Draw2d figures.
You can ask on the SWT newsgroup to be sure, but AFAIK there's no such
support in SWT either.

You can, however, capture the GEF diagram as an Image. So you might want to
see if you can find a converter that can convert the image into the WMF
format.

An image would be better than nothing, could you point me to the right
place?

The nice thing about WMF is that it is a vector-based format, so conversion
of an image to WMF should not be possible.

Hi,

I have implemented a function to save a gef viewer as an image. One
possibility is to create an (SWT) image in memory and paint the figure you
want into this image. Here is how I did it:

ScrollingGraphicalViewer viewer = ...;
// get printable layers, only those will be included in the image
LayerManager lm =
(LayerManager)viewer.getEditPartRegistry().get(LayerManager. ID);
IFigure f = lm.getLayer(LayerConstants.PRINTABLE_LAYERS);

// use SWT features to capture the image
Image capture = new Image(viewer.getControl().getDisplay(),
f.getBounds().width, f.getBounds().height);
GC imageGC = new GC(capture);
Graphics graphics = new SWTGraphics(imageGC);
f.paint(graphics);

// save captured image to a file. again, this is SWT.
// Note that in v2.1 not too many graphic formats are supported.
// Refer to the ImageLoader source code to learn more
try {
ImageLoader imageloader = new ImageLoader();
imageloader.data = new ImageData[1];
imageloader.data[0] = capture.getImageData();
imageloader.save(filename, SWT.IMAGE_BMP);
} finally {
graphics.dispose();
imageGC.dispose();
capture.dispose();
}

GEF already does this.
See org.eclipse.draw2d.parts.ScrollableThumbnal, specifically the
SelectorFigure inner class.

For saving the image to the clipboard in BMP format, there is a very
useful data transfer class written by Philip Schatz at:

Maybe you'll find this useful:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/tritos

It's not WMF but its successor EMF (not to be mistaken with Eclipse
Modeling Framework ;) ). Of course, it's only working with Win32.

Dear all,

Does someone know what is the license for Image data transfer written by
Philip Schatz?

Thanks a lot,
