Hi All,
This is Papyrus user question:
I use papyrus to create UML diagrams.
I installed elk with hope to apply the automatic layout cleanup, but when I am on a Papyrus Diagram editor, I don't see any ELK or Menu for relayout,
I wonder if the feature is supported and If I should invest more time to make it work,

question: is ELK usable with Papyrus diagram editor?
any example of usage would be great,

Thanks in advance,

Hi Eric,

ELK is not supposed to work out of the box as a tool for end users. Instead, tool developers can integrate it into their tools. We had a Papyrus integration for an older version of ELK once, but that doesn't work with the current version. I believe that the Papyrus developers are or have been working on a new integration, though. You should contact them to inquire about its state. :)

Cheers,
Chris

Hi Guys,

I m happy to announce that, thanks to Quentin Lemenez, if you install the nightly of Papyrus and EMK, you can now use ELK with Papyrus :-)

Best,
Sébastien.
