Hi,
Is the mark really part of your semantic model? Because the GMF notation model already handles the colors of nodes. You should remove this from your domain model, and rely on the color attribute provided in the GMF notation model.

> Hi, I have a problem about changing the background color of a node dynamically. I know it has been discussed in the community. But I still don't figure out how I can get it. In my model, this is a node called Mark with an attribute called Color. Every time when I changed its value, the background color of Mark should be changed also.

I think you should not have the color in your domain model (ecore). The color is included in the GMF Notation model, and GMF editors provide tools to handle this background color. If you generated your diagram editor with GMF-Tooling, you should have an "appearance" tab in your properties view that you can use to change the color of nodes and compartments (I am not really sure about how it behaves with compartments). Take a look at the code behind this tab to see how to handle a color change programatically.

I want to change the background color of a mark in run time, so I add a background color for Mark in .gmfgraph file. Now I should develop the code to change it dynamically. Do you have any ideas? Do I go to the wrong direction? Thank you

Hi Vincent,
did you solve this? I think your direction is good.
Does the new default background color show up in the editor?
If so it should also be possible to change dynamically.
I'm not sure from what context you want to change the color,
but if you have access to your XXXEditPart, it should be fine.
If you want this with a context menu (popupmenu), see one of the GMF
tutorials.
I did something like this:
> GraphicalEditPart part = ....;
> TransactionalEditingDomain ted = part.getEditingDomain();
> CompoundCommand cc = new CompoundCommand();
> View v = (View) part.getModel();
> if (v instanceof FillStyle) {
> SetCommand cmd = new SetCommand(ted, v, NotationPackage.Literals.FILL_STYLE__FILL_COLOR, 0xffaabb);
> cc.append(cmd);
> }
> ted.getCommandStack().execute(cc);
You can have look at org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.notation
model/notation.ecore for more details.
The class hierarchy looks something like this:
View -> EModelElement
Node -> View
Style
FillStyle -> Style
fillColor
ShapeStyle -> FillStyle, ...
Shape -> Node, ShapeStyle
Somehow, the gmf notation view representing the figure should be a Shape.
I'm not sure how/where the exact mapping is...
Also I cannot really find where the Shape/ShapeImpl is created.
Anybody knows?
If you want to see how the default colors/settings are created, have a
look at XXXViewProvider's createXXX_XXXX functions.
Example:
> final IPreferenceStore prefStore = (IPreferenceStore) XXXXEditorPlugin.DIAGRAM_PREFERENCES_HINT.getPreferenceStore();
> org.eclipse.swt.graphics.RGB fillRGB = PreferenceConverter.getColor(prefStore, IPreferenceConstants.PREF_FILL_COLOR);
Hope this helps,
Best,
Ivar

Hi,Ivar. I'm appreciated of your reply. I understand more right now. But I still have some problem.
1.<<GraphicalEditPart part = ....;>> can you precise a little? part = ?? and Where should I put your code??
2.About the GMF notation, I don't really understand, I have seen a solution which used the notation. It seems a XML file which designs every node's attributes. But I can't find it also. And you have mentioned Shape/ShapeImpl file. I have found some files like this in XXX.src.impl including all the implementations of the interfaces.
Thank you for your help. I'm waiting for your answers. 
best regards,
Vincent
