Hello, I want to animate my design. Do you have a tutorial about this? Something like https://wiki.eclipse.org/Sirius/Tutorials/StarterTutorial but with animation.

Regards, Matias.

Hi,

Sirius does not support model animation directly, but GEMOC has done some work on this subject (among other stuff). You can have a look at https://github.com/gemoc/MODELS2017Tutorial or https://github.com/gemoc/ICSA2017Tutorial for example.

Hello Pierre and thanks for the comment. I worked on GEMOC and I am able to provide animation by relying on the GEMOC studio. I am asking because I would like to able to animate a model without using the GEMOC interface. I think I have to base on the Services but I am not really sure how.

Hello Matias,

I the case of GEMOC, the animation comes on top of the Eclipse debugging framework. But you can also achieve animation without the debugging layer.

You have two main cases:
- the data representing the changes are stored inside the model, then you can modify the model and let Sirius do the refresh and apply corresponding style changes.
- the data representing the changes are not stored inside the model, this is the GEMOC case, you will need to write services to access changes data and trigger the refresh of Sirius.

For an example on how to trigger the refresh you can have a look at refreshRepresentations() in this file:

https://github.com/SiriusLab/ModelDebugging/blob/master/simulationmodelanimation/plugins/org.eclipse.gemoc.dsl.debug.ide.sirius.ui/src/org/eclipse/gemoc/dsl/debug/ide/sirius/ui/services/AbstractDSLDebuggerServices.java

If you plan to do a graphical debugger you can reuse https://github.com/SiriusLab/ModelDebugging/blob/master/simulationmodelanimation/
There is a debug model presentation for EMF and Sirius.

regards,
Yvan.
