Paint children outside a figure [message #220667]

Hello,

i would like to create a container figure which is capable
of showing figures outside of its bounds.

I used to crop the rectangle which gets painted so that theres an invisible
border.
But this has the unwanted effect that handles are still painted on the
original bounds.

So is there a possiblity to extend the paint area of a figure?

Regards, Ingo

You should override getHandleBounds() and return whatever appropriate
for the handle bounds to appear. Don't forget to implements
HandleBounds in your figure.

Hi,

at first I did not understand what you meant,
but now it is working! Thanx!

But...if i place editparts outside the handle bounds I have the problem
that i cannot select them although they are visible...

Regards,
Ingo
