Hi all,

i've just started working with EUGENIA (today) and before digging deeper
into that stuff, i wanted to ask, whether it is possible to create
specific diagrams of existing model elements.

My model root contains several trees. I now want to realize two
different diagrams: 1. a diagram that contains and relates the trees,
and 2. a diagram for each tree to define the tree itself.

I think each new diagram has to be generated in a seperate GMF Project,
each with the diagram-specific annotation in the domain model. This
would mean to copy the domain model into each diagram project. Is this
correct?!

Thanks a lot. EUGENIA looks very promising to me, in contrast to
developing everything from scratch manually with GMF

Timothy

Hi Timothy,

Multiple diagrams are not supported natively. I must admit I haven't
tried the workaround you're suggesting (copying the domain model into
each diagram project) but I think it should work. In any case could you
please file an enhancement request in the bugzilla so that we can keep
track of this?

Cheers,
Dimitris

Dimitris,

thank for the quick response. I will investigate this a bit later. By
the way, is it somehow possible to let an initialize or use an editor
with an already existing model file? Currently, everytime i open a new
editor, he asks for a new model file to create.

Hi Timothy,

You can right-click on the model file and click "Initialize xxx diagram
file".

Cheers,
Dimitris

Hi Dimitris,

okay, that works fine. Thanks for that hint, BUT: Is it possible to
modify the built-in "new diagram" wizard to contribute the new created
model elements into an already existing model file?! Currently, it is
only possible to create new files by using the "new diagram" wizard.

Thanks in advance

Hi Timothy,

The "new diagram" wizard is a feature of GMF (not Eugenia). I'm sure you
can achieve this somehow but I must admit I don't have any experience
with this. I'd suggest asking about this in the GMF newsgroup.

Hi Dimitris,

i tried to implement different diagram types for one model by
diversifying the *.ecore and *.genmodel for each new diagram. That works
very well, except the cumbersome process flow if something has changed
in the model. However, the workflow as it is enables me to create
different views (like in UML) as well as open a different editor by
double-clicking a particular node in the diagram.

So far

Hi Timothy,

Great news. Thanks for sharing! Would it by any chance be possible to
contribute a minimal example illustrating this so that we can put it the
examples section of the site?

Cheers,
Dimitris

Hi Dimitris,

yes, i can do so, but i won't do this until mid of march (due to some
project deadlines).

So far (until my next questions :-) )

Dimitris,

thank for the quick response. I will investigate this a bit later. By
the way, is it somehow possible to let an initialize or use an editor
with an already existing model file? Currently, everytime i open a new
editor, he asks for a new model file to create.

Hi Timothy,

You can right-click on the model file and click "Initialize xxx diagram
file".

Hi Dimitris,

i tried to implement different diagram types for one model by
diversifying the *.ecore and *.genmodel for each new diagram. That works
very well, except the cumbersome process flow if something has changed
in the model. However, the workflow as it is enables me to create
different views (like in UML) as well as open a different editor by
double-clicking a particular node in the diagram.

So far
Timothy

Hi Timothy,

Great news. Thanks for sharing! Would it by any chance be possible to
contribute a minimal example illustrating this so that we can put it the
examples section of the site?

Cheers,
Dimitris

Hi Dimitris,

yes, i can do so, but i won't do this until mid of march (due to some
project deadlines).

So far (until my next questions :-) )
