Hi,
In GEF application, I am using view objects as classes that extends the draw2d.Figure class.

Inside the classes I have implemented the paintFigure (graphics g) and setBound(Rect r) methods for setting colors property and bounds property for rectangles and other drawing object respectively.

Everything is working fine. But I am surprised that there are n number of calls for method setBound and paintFigure methods. It can hit the performance of my application.

Do you have any idea what could be the reason for this and any Idea to stop multiples calls to these method?

One More Thing I noticed about this behaviour: these method are called infinite time untill your view is displayed inside the editor. If you minimize your editor, the calling to these method stops. But when both are open simultaneously, the calling is going on...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Any Idea would be appreciated

Can you please prove the code for the extended figure...

Here is my figure class extending the Figure

nodeLabel = new Label();
nodeLabel.setText(labelString);

this.roundedRect.setCornerDimensions(cornerDimensions);
this.shadowNode.setCornerDimensions(cornerDimensions);
roundedRect.setForegroundColor(blackColor);

toolTipLabel = new Label();
this.toolTipLabel.setBorder(new MarginBorder(2, 2, 2, 2));

add(nodeLabel);
}

/**
* Constructor
*/
public NodeFigure(String labelString, boolean isStartNode) {

this(labelString);

this.isStartNode = isStartNode;
startIconRoundedRectangle.setBackgroundColor(nodeFillColor);
startIconRoundedRectangle.setForegroundColor(nodeFillColor);

if(this.isStartNode == true){
startIconRoundedRectangle.setBackgroundColor(startFillColor) ;
startLabel = new Label();
this.startLabel.setIcon(START_NODE_ICON);
add(startLabel);
}

}

The painfigure method contains adding of child figures this in tern calles the paintfigure again hence it is being called infinitly...

also adding children triggers layout changes which in tern calles setbounds and again painfigure method and so on...

remove adding children code from paintfigure method,instead put them in the specific property change method like setPresentation or setStartNodeMethods....

always avoid adding children, layout,changing properties like setFont,setBackground,setForeground of self or children in paintFigure method...

hope this solves your problem...
