Hi,

I want to decorate some text in my SourceViewer with an added visual presentation (f. e. like squiggles). I tried to use Annotations.

I added the AnnotationModel

viewer.setDocument(new Document(), new AnnotationModel());

and added the AnnotationPainter:

AnnotationPainter painter = new AnnotationPainter(viewer, annotationAccess);
painter.addDrawingStrategy(Constants.ANNOTATION_VARIABLE_TYPE, new MySquigglesStrategy());
painter.addAnnotationType(Constants.ANNOTATION_VARIABLE_TYPE, Constants.ANNOTATION_VARIABLE_TYPE);
painter.setAnnotationTypeColor(Constants.ANNOTATION_VARIABLE_TYPE, viewer.getTextWidget().getForeground());


And on some action I am adding the Annotation to the AnnotationModel:

Annotation annotation = new Annotation(Constants.ANNOTATION_VARIABLE_TYPE, false, variable.getName());
sourceViewer.getAnnotationModel().addAnnotation(annotation, position);

But nothing is painted. The draw method of my drawing strategy is not called at all. How/When does the AnnotationPainter gets the info that it has something to paint. I cannot see the connection between the AnnotationModel and the AnnotationPainter.

Any idea?

Thanx in advance

Mihael

EDIT: by calling AnnotationPainter.paint(reason) it will set the annotation model internally. But I can't believe that this is the way to go. Any help is very much appreciated.
