Create Figures within figures like logic Example [message #222483]

Hello Experts,

i'm extending the shapeexample. At the moment i try to create a Figure which
contains other Figures. In this first case a diamond and a rectangle. At the
moment i don't find out how to create it. I'd a look at the logic-example
but i don't really understand how there it works. My Model contains the two
shapes but somehow the editpart don't really creates them.

Greetings Tobias

In the editpart, you must have getModelChidren()
In the part factory, you must handle everything that is returned from
getModelChidren()

If the figure doesn't show up, make sure the parent has appropriate
layout manager installed.

All this is detailed in the programmer's guide for GEF.

So i'v got it. Thanks for your tips Nhu Le. I had read the programmers guide
but somehow it wasn't at least in my mind. I forgot something else which was
the reason why GEF don't displayed the figures inside. My EditPart for the
Container didn't had the Method getContentPane() so GEF was unable to create
the Child-figures.

getContentPane() by default returns the figure itself. You only
override this method if you want the children to be added somewhere else
(in one of the child of this figure)
