I want to be able to select the diagram layout from several on a menu.
It seems I need to over-ride the getCommand() menthod on =
ContainerEditPolicy=20
in order to respond differenetly to an arrangeAll request ?

Assuming this is correct, then how to add my subclass of =
ContainerEditPolicy ?

Which of the keys in EditPolicy is used to do this ?
How else might this be done ?
Will the diagram persist the user's last layout choice ?

Thanks

Roy

The policy roles are located in two places EditPolicy - for the gef ones
(including container_role) and EditPolicyRoles for the gmf added ones.

In your container edit part override createDefaultEditPolicies() - call
super first and then call installEditPolicy(role, new YourEditPolicy)

The layout will be persisted.
