Highlight anchors? [message #743800] Fri, 21 October 2011 14:46 Go to next message

(I had the idea that this had been mentioned in the forum, but I can't find anything now, perhaps I was wrong)

I'd want to highlight the anchors when a connection creation is attempted (perhaps in canStartConnection() / canCreate() ). Is this possible?

Also, there is a new feature in M3 that eases this, see
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=329517

Pre-requisite is that the anchors have a GraphicsAlgorithm as representation
(so are no ChopboxAnchors).

Thanks, that's what I was missing. It doesn't satisfy me, however, that one is supposed (aparently? judging by the chess example) to make the highlight inside the pictogram hierarchy...

I have commented this in the issue tracker (I'm not sure if this kind of comments should better post here).

BTW, wouldn't that example set the editor as dirty ? (because we are modifying the diagram!)

As also stated in the bug: the upcoming border decorators will be an option
to do that without modifying the model.

Wouldn't it be possible to manipulate directly the Draw2D's Figure from the feature method?

Sure, but from Graphiti's point of view (trying to hide GEF/Draw2D) this
would only be the last resort.
