Adding labels to circuit elements [message #19012]

How might I go about adding a text label to the circuit elements provided in
the circuit sample? Text should follow the element around and should be
displayed underneath the element. This is in preparation for a similar
activity we want to perform in our application. I'm hoping to learn GEF by
doing small changes to the circuit example, but need a jumpstart to get
going.

thanks

I have the same simple problem, displaying an image with text in an
EditPart.
I came up with the same kind of solution as Guy pointed out. I changed my
implementation to be the same as the one in the thread, but...

Nothing is displayed. When I select the EditParts they exist, and seem to
have the correct size, the connections between the EditParts are connected
in the right place.

I must have mist something somewhere, can anybody help please?

What are you trying to do? A mockup and your current code would help.

I am trying to display a composed Figure. So I used the code snippet
indicated by Guy:
private Label title = new Label();
private Label icon = new Label();

public ConceptFigure() {
super();

FlowLayout layout = new FlowLayout(false);
layout.setMajorAlignment(FlowLayout.ALIGN_CENTER);
setLayoutManager(layout);

add(getIcon());
add(getTitle());
}
This didn't seem to work, BUT when I was looking at the code to place in
this answer I noticed that I had overridden the method useLocalCoordinates
to return true! Apparently this is not compatible with the FlowLayout,
removing the method from my ConceptFigure displayed corectly the image and
the text in my EditPart.
