How can I create a connection line like figure in the following link:

I have looked for Polyline Connection but It just has an aggregation figure and closed arrow. Could you please help me?
Thanks,
Ismail

For the polilyne in the gmpgraph you have to define a source a target decoration and these have to be a circle figure

Yeap, you are rigth. Polyline connection allows to select target and source decoration. How we can draw a circle to the target or source decoration?

Is there a predefined figure library for that?

Thanks for your answer,
Ismail.

By creating a Polygon Decoration using different coordinates I managed to draw a circle for source decoration and an arrow with circle for target decoration.

However, I could not find how I can triple the line in between.

There are a few options : LINE_SOLID; LINE_DASH,..
And there is LINE_CUSTOM.

Anyone knows how LINE_CUSTOM works??

Hi a Line custom needs to be defined for you. You should extend or define a custom line with the behaviour you want in another class.

So then how and where should I tell eclipse use my custom class called xyz as custom line.

And do you have samples for that custom line class or at least what is your idea about that custom line class. How should at be at least?

Cheers,
Ismail.

If I'm not wrong LINE_CUSTOM is a style of line not a line. You need to go to the edipart of this figure and in the class who extends the polilyne connection with the decorators you should code the this figure. I think this is a compound polilyne with three polilynes. I don't know if you can do this work easily. Maybe you will need to redefine some methods that GMF invoque over the figure of that connectioneditpart, so I don't know a easy way to deal with this issue.

Regards

Fernando

Hi,

I'm interested in your subject of connection line, have you solved your problem?

Hi,

I don`t understand your issue right, but maybe this is a clue:

I wanted to draw a double-line-connection (without crossing lines in any state) some time ago.
My solution was to extend my own/changed polylineconnectionex in the editpart of the connection you want to have a doubleline.
for me it was something like this:

public class ConnectionFigure extends MyChangedPolylineconnectionex

In this extended file i did the work at "outlineShape(Graphics g)" through simply draw a second line using the following code and some do-not-cross-lines-logic:

PointList mylist1 = displayPoints.getCopy();
PointList mylist2 = displayPoints.getCopy();
mylist1.translate(0 , -2);
mylist2.translate(0, 2);
g.drawPolyline(mylist1);
g.drawPolyline(mylist2);

see attachted file

maybe not the best way but still works for me


kind regards,
Andreas
