Controlling size of the shape in editor during editor resize [message #1699677] Thu, 25 June 2015 18:38 Go to next message

I represent my model as a static shape in Graphiti. It looks somewhat similar to XSD editor in Eclipse.

http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/initial-contribution/IBM/evalGuides/XMLToolsEval_files/XSD_Editor_top_level_view.gif

When I resize XSD editor the schema table is resized as well, looks like it has minimum width and height. I'd like to do the same thing in my Graphiti editor, what is the best way to accomplish this? Is there something that already allows me to do this?

Thanks,
Alex

I was able to achieve the resize by using createPartControl() of DiagramEditor:

public void createPartControl(Composite parent) {
		// TODO Auto-generated method stub
		super.createPartControl(parent);
		Control[] children = parent.getChildren();
		children[0].addControlListener(new ControlListener() {
			
			@Override
			public void controlResized(ControlEvent e) {
				EList<Shape> children = diagram.getChildren();
				Shape channelShape = null;
				
				for(Shape child : children){
					EList<Property> properties = child.getProperties();
					for(Property property : properties){
						String key = property.getKey();
						if(key.equals(ChannelDiagramConstants.COMPONENT_NAME)){
							if(property.getValue().equals("Channel")){
								channelShape = child;
								break;
							}
						}
					}
				}
				
				Composite source = (Composite) e.getSource();
				Point size = source.getSize();
				
				GraphicsAlgorithm ga = channelShape.getGraphicsAlgorithm();
				int x = ga.getX();
				int y = ga.getY();
				final ResizeShapeContext resizeContext = new ResizeShapeContext(channelShape);
				//resizeContext.setHeight(ga.getY());
				resizeContext.setWidth(size.x - 250);
				resizeContext.setX(x);
				resizeContext.setY(y);
				
				getEditingDomain().getCommandStack().execute(new RecordingCommand(getEditingDomain()) {
					
					@Override
					protected void doExecute() {
						IResizeShapeFeature resizeShapeFeature = getDiagramTypeProvider().getFeatureProvider().getResizeShapeFeature(resizeContext);
						resizeShapeFeature.resizeShape(resizeContext);
						
					}
				});
			}
			
			@Override
			public void controlMoved(ControlEvent e) {
				// TODO Auto-generated method stub
				
			}
		});
	}


It work with exception of resizing being not as smooth as I want it to be, as you can see in this video. I don't know if this expected behavior or something can be done to make it more smooth. One of solutions would be put call to IResizeShapeFeature.resizeShape() into a thread so that resizing is not done on every ControlEvent fire, but something like 5 seconds after last one. Still, I'd like to find out if Graphiti has some solution that it offers.

Thanks,
Alex

Hello Alex,

I had to do the same in my editor to have a resize feature that works on a screen resize, I have not found any other way in Graphiti to do so.

Best regards.
Jerome

Alex, Jerome,

right, there is nothing like this in Graphiti. Please file an enhancement
bugzilla if you want to see such a feature in a future release.

Thanks,
Michael

Thanks Michael, Jerome

It's such a small feature and I am thinking it won't be widely used so I am not sure if it needs to be included in base Graphiti feature.

Another question I have is how do I go about resizing child components? Is there something in place that automatically adjusts children's size based on parent's size change?

Alex,

sorry, there is no such automated feature. You will have to resize children
when you resize the parent.

Michael
