How to re-Arrange figures on a GEF editor? [message #207880]

Hi All,

Iam working in Eclipse plug-ins development in GEF Framework.
In this, we create Graphical editors with figures (like rectangle, square,
etc) which are connected by connectors, all using GEF Framework.

Once the Editors with the figures are created in the editor using
drag-and-drop from the palette, our task is to Re-Arrange the Figures in a
systematic manner.
At the same time, we have to ensure that the connectors do not overlapp on
any figures after Re-Arrangement.

The connector Routing could be ManHattanRouting type or any other
Short-Path Routing.

Could you please suggest and provide hint on how to generate the
auto-re-arrangement of figures.

Can you please elaborate on that.

Here we have already created the Flow consisting of figures, now
our Task is to rearrange the figures in systematic manner by
changing the corordinates of the figures, and on the way ensuring
that Connectors also do not overlap any laid out figure.

Hi, thankx for the link .
We hav already gone thru that example. With the source code present there,
we will be able to create a flow with some desired figures, which we have
already accomplished.
But my task is to be able to re-arrange this already created flow(having
figures).

P.S The flow creation is done by drag-drop of figures from the palette
