Hello,
I have some questions and it would be great if you could help me with some
of them:
1.: I enabled Textwrap for some of my labels (just set
fig_0.setTextWrap(true);) and it works fine, but I have two problems:
1.a) the direct edit feature seems to be aborted right after the first
character, so entering text per direct edit is nearly impossible, while it
works fine using the properties view. Any ideas?
1.b) the font size for editing and displaying the text seems to be different
(not only with textwrap activated). Maybe this is a Linux/KDE problem only.
when I enter text, it fills the label perfectly, while the font is a little
bit smaller. When I quit the edit mode, the font gets bigger, but the
label'ssize remains the same, so the text doesn't fit.
2.: I want to use one tool for some similar diagram elements, so i assigned
the same tool to them. when I click on the canvas (or whereever to create
them) I can select the element, but the only way to discriminate them is
their order and the icon (if set), but the text description is the same. I
took a look in the code, but didn't figure out how to set a different
description for each element... could you help me, please?
3.: I want to create some elements with an external label, so i created a
PlainLabelFigure and a PlainDiagramLabel, which are mapped to all the
features needed. but while it works well for top level nodes and all kind
of links, there is a problem when the node the label is assocated to is not
a top level node but held in some container: the label seems not to be
properly "attached" to the node. the thin dotted line that appears when you
move the label is showing somewhere to the upper left of the label. the
curious thing: when I move the diagram element the label stays in place
relativ to the element it is attached to (as it should do), but when I move
the container the diagram element is held in, the label stays in place
abslutely (as it should not do). is there any way to fix this?
Ok, that will do for now.
Thanks a lot,
tobias

you could make them to look distinct.

OK, but where shall I do this? Can you give me a link? Sorry, new to GMF.

They do look different in the Diagram, but not in the little Selection Box
(well, the icon, but not the text).
To give you the scenario: Different kinds of Events in Business Process
Diagrams. I have Start, End and Intermediate Events, which share the
Creation Tool "Event" with Description "Create a new Event".
When I click the tool and then click the canvas a little Box pops up which
looks like this:
+----------------------------+
| [ICON1] Create a new Event |
| [ICON2] Create a new Event |
| [ICON3] Create a new Event |
+----------------------------+
so the only way to discriminate the several events is by their icons and by
the order by which they are listed. It would be nice if I could give
different descriptions for the different types of events.

Text wrapping works for me if I put the label in a container that has
stack layout. No need to touch the label figure itself.

I see )))
Set 'display name' property of the element types in gmfgen model to
'Start', 'End' and 'Intermediate' instead of 'Event' (most likely it's
Gen Top Level Node -> Metamodel Type -> Display Name).
I've added https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=157512 to
clarify the issue.

There are two cases: EClass may be created by many tools and tool may
create many EClasses; the default value of the aforementioned property
was inferred with only the first case in mind; mea culpa (((. For now
you can change nothing.
