Hi,

The getting started guide (https://www.eclipse.org/elk/getting-started.php) mentions "org.eclipse.elk.core.layoutConfigs" extension point as a way to statically configure options for layout.

Looking at commits that extension point has been removed. I couldn't find a replacement for that.

I'm working on Sirius editor and I want to use some specific layout properties for every instance of the editor (statically) as soon as the editor is created (first layout).

Sirius choose the correct ELK layoutProvider from GMF extension point, but it layouts with default properties. I looked at ELK code and I didn't found any hook were I can put my custom properties before the first layout is applied.

I can trigger a relayout with my properties set but only after the diagram is created, which seems not the best way.

Thanks in advance!

The whole API has been massively restructured, and the current state is not documented yet. The easiest way to statically configure the layout would be to set the properties in your custom IDiagramLayoutConnector implementation, e.g. by subclassing GmfDiagramLayoutConnector:

https://github.com/eclipse/elk/blob/master/plugins/org.eclipse.elk.conn.gmf/src/org/eclipse/elk/conn/gmf/GmfDiagramLayoutConnector.java

That implementation is registered with an ILayoutSetup in the org.eclipse.elk.core.service.layoutConnectors extension point.
