Hi,

in my GMF diagram editor I want to change generated XYAnchor (for my connections) with EllipseAnchor, to best suite my needs: any idea about this?

Thank you,

Giovanni

Hello,

I suspect that you just want to have the connections to your oval' figures to go directly to the oval bounds, not to the enclosing rectangle bounds, no matter how exactly it is done.

In this case just ensure that the figure returned from EditPart#getFigure() method instanceof IOvalAncorableFigure. If you are using GMFT than thois figure is normally a DefaultSizeNodeFigure, and you only to implement getOvalBounds by delegating to the primary shape.

If SlidableOvalAnchor is not good for you, you still might do the change above and debug to see how the SlidableOvalAnchor internally replaces the default one in this case.
