I want to use a image as my node.
But I'm not realy sure how to do this. My image is a simple PNG-image. So how do I make this? Using an SVGFigure, a CustomFigure or what else?
Maybe there is an official or unoffical tutorial. But I couldn't find one.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I don't understand why no one is answering this simple question. Very sad.
I also need to know how to add images, but I was afraid to ask because lots of questions aren't answered here, although there are lots of viewers. I didn't had this experience in other expert forums so far. Can't believe no one knows the answer, too. But maybe there aren't enough active experts in here.
If the question is too easy and already came up hundreds of times so that the mods are tired of it, there should be a FAQ or some sticky thread with this topic. And one could a least give a hint if this question already has been answered somewhere. It's not always easy to find the right stuff (especially without an advanced search)
To the thread starter:
I tried to do it as described in the linked thread too but it's not working. There are no errors showing up since I added the missing import statements etc, but there's also no image showing up in my rectangle.
Some questions:
1) Does it only work for svg images?
2) Did you specify anything else in your figure descriptor than mentioned in that rough explanation from the thread you posted? (some property, child access or anything else)
3) How do I have to specify the image folder correctly? Is it like
"icons/..." or
"/icons/..." or
"package_name/icons/..."
or do I need to specify a
new path("icons/...")
first?? How can I even check if it's correct without trying and compiling over and over again? I just don't know if the path is correct.
4) What "dependency" exactly do I have to add in the plugin.xml?
Thanks & regards,
Alex

I'm using PNG's, so it chould also work with other types of images.

Only the normal stuff:
Figure Gallery
--Figure Descriptor
----Rectangle
------CustomFigure (with the properties from the link)
Node (MyFigure)

This is how I add my image:
URL url = Platform.getBundle("Your_Plug-In_ID").getEntry("/images/image.png");
ScalableImageFigure mYFigure = new ScalableImageFigure(RenderedImageFactory.getInstance(url), true, true, true);
this.add(mYFigure);

The missing Dependency was org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.draw2d.ui.render

Unfortunately the image is still not appearing in the node 
I think something must be wrong about the URL.

"Your_Plug-In_ID" is the value from "plugin.xml -> overview -> ID", right?
In your example, the folder "/images" is on the same level as the "src" folder in your plugin-project, right?
Do you have any other suggestions how I could create the URL? (there seem to be several different possibilities)
Cheers,
Alex

Yes, the ID is the value from the plugin.xml.
My Images folder is on the same level like the plugin.xml.
Don't know if there is another way to get the correct path.
Are you sure you got the dependencys all right?
