Hi,

How can I create a diagram (instance) based on a custom diagramKind programmatically?

I'd like to create a diagram in the corresponding EdhitHelperAdvice when creating my ElementType.

Hi,

Would it help checking how this is done in Papyrus-RT? Please take a look at the org.eclipse.papyrusrt.umlrt.core.types.advice.CapsuleEditHelperAdvice and how it automatically creates the capsule structure diagram whenever the capsule is created. I am not familiar with how this works myself, but I guess it is a good example of something very similar to what you are trying to achieve.

Specifically check the getBeforeConfigureCommand() and how it returns a CreateHeadlessCapsuleStructureDiagramCommand.

Hope this helps,

/Peter Cigéhn

One remark,
I advice to you set a name with the word "graphical" in this advice.
The first idea of the element type was used to customize the behavior of the semantic.
When you add graphical behavior, you melt semantic and graphical topic, So pay attention.
You can have an advice purely semantic and another advice to add graphical behavior. In this maner, if the graphical aspect change, it will be easier to manage this impact. Wink
