Import all elements from an existing diagram file [message #468324] Wed, 05 August 2009 05:46 Go to next message

I'd like to have some sort of import functionality, where user can choose
an existing diagram file in filesystem and all nodes and links defined in
that file will be copied into the current diagram (if possible preserving
layout, but just copying the model would be a great start).

Any hints on where to start?
Thanks!

Hello Peter,

You can load corresponding diagram file with EMF and browse/copy/tranform
diagram/domain model contet using EMF api.

Hi Alex,
I've got split Diagram/Model files, so do you mean to open the diagram
file using editingDomain.getResourceSet().getResource, or do I need both?

How would I continue then?

IMHO just add elements (from booth models) to appropriate new
containers. You have to do it under the control of a
TransactionalEditingDomain.

Hello Peter,

I mean:
- reate new EMF ResourceSet and load diagram resource using its URI there.
- get root element of the resource - this is a Diagram instance
- if you need to access underlying domain model you can simply call diagram.getElement().
This EObject will be located in another resource (domain model one) but for
you it will be transparent.

Hi Alex,

Quite easy until here :)
But how am I going to continue once I've got the diagram?

Do I have to loop over persistedChildren and persistedEdges and copy them
to my own diagram somehow?

How would I do this, and can it be done in one transaction to allow undo?

Thanks a lot,
Peter

Yes. or you can write QVT transformation for it..

Do you need to undo copying diagram elements to the new resource?
Then you have to use TransactionalEditingDomain and corresponding ResourceSet
to load EMF reosurces there.
