Saving Diagram as Image is clipped if negative co-ordinates. How to solve this? [message #533437] Thu, 13 May 2010 20:58 Go to next message

The problem is that if any of the diagram's child figures have a
negative x,y, location (for example, x = -100, y = -100) this portion is
not saved to the image. It seems that the figure only saves to image
from origin (0, 0).

I'm using a ScalableFreeformRootEditPart, and a FreeformLayer with
FreeformLayout for my diagram's main edit part.

This is how I save the diagram as an image:

ScalableFreeformRootEditPart rootEditPart =
(ScalableFreeformRootEditPart)diagramViewer.getRootEditPart( );

IFigure figure = rootEditPart.getLayer(LayerConstants.PRINTABLE_LAYERS);

Rectangle rectangle = figure.getBounds();

Image image = new Image(Display.getDefault(), rectangle.width,
rectangle.height);

GC gc = new GC(image);
SWTGraphics graphics = new SWTGraphics(gc);
figure.paint(graphics);

ImageLoader loader = new ImageLoader();
loader.data = new ImageData[]{ image.getImageData() };
loader.save(file, SWT.IMAGE_PNG);

Any ideas? Thanks.

Phil

This is not possible,

because if the image is clipped then the figure on the canvas also should be clipped.

because both are being drawn using GC,only difference being canvas or image.

can you provide a snippet to proove your point.

why, mr. Anderson, why, why do you persist?

Hi, thanks for help!

I can't really provide more of a "snippet" than the following that I
have implemented:

My Editor extends GraphicalEditorWithFlyoutPalette.

My Graphical Viewer's Root EditPart is a ScalableFreeformRootEditPart:

ScalableFreeformRootEditPart rootEditPart = new
ScalableFreeformRootEditPart();
getGraphicalViewer().setRootEditPart(rootEditPart);

My domain model's main EditPart extends AbstractGraphicalEditPart and
creates a main layer as follows:

protected IFigure createFigure() {
FreeformLayer figure = new FreeformLayer();
figure.setLayoutManager(new FreeformLayout());
return figure;
}

This ensures that I can place child figures anywhere on the diagram
including in negative co-ordinates. If I do this, the scroll bars allow
me to see all of the diagram.

My "Save as Image" action is basically:

ScalableFreeformRootEditPart rootEditPart =
(ScalableFreeformRootEditPart)graphicalViewer.getRootEditPar t();

IFigure figure = rootEditPart.getLayer(LayerConstants.PRINTABLE_LAYERS);

Rectangle rectangle = figure.getBounds();

Image image = new Image(Display.getDefault(), rectangle.width,
rectangle.height);

GC gc = new GC(image);
SWTGraphics graphics = new SWTGraphics(gc);
figure.paint(graphics);

ImageLoader loader = new ImageLoader();
loader.data = new ImageData[] { image.getImageData() };
loader.save(file, SWT.IMAGE_PNG);

I found the answer. I need to add the following line:

graphics.translate(rectangle.x * -1, rectangle.y * -1);

So it is now:

ScalableFreeformRootEditPart rootEditPart =
(ScalableFreeformRootEditPart)graphicalViewer.getRootEditPar t();

IFigure figure = rootEditPart.getLayer(LayerConstants.PRINTABLE_LAYERS);

Rectangle rectangle = figure.getBounds();

Image image = new Image(Display.getDefault(), rectangle.width,
rectangle.height);

GC gc = new GC(image);
SWTGraphics graphics = new SWTGraphics(gc);
graphics.translate(rectangle.x * -1, rectangle.y * -1);
figure.paint(graphics);

ImageLoader loader = new ImageLoader();
loader.data = new ImageData[] { image.getImageData() };
loader.save(file, SWT.IMAGE_PNG);
