hi folks,

if I add a polygon to a diagram, the polygon cannot be moved correctly. If I select the corresponding shape, move it, and release the mouse, the shape is not positioned at the point where I release the mouse. Instead, the shape "jumps" to a lower than its original position. If I use a plain rectangle, everything works fine.

Here is my add feature for the shape:

public class AddConditionalNodeFeature extends AbstractAddShapeFeature{
    public PictogramElement add(IAddContext context) {
        ConditionalNode addedConditionalNode = (ConditionalNode) context.getNewObject();
	Diagram targetDiagram = (Diagram) context.getTargetContainer();

	// CONTAINER SHAPE
	IPeCreateService peCreateService = Graphiti.getPeCreateService();
	ContainerShape containerShape    = peCreateService.createContainerShape(targetDiagram, true);
        IGaService gaService = Graphiti.getGaService();
	Polygon polygon = this.createPolygon(containerShape);
        polygon.setForeground(manageColor(CLASS_FOREGROUND));
        polygon.setBackground(manageColor(CLASS_BACKGROUND));
        polygon.setLineWidth(2);
        gaService.setLocation(polygon, context.getX(), context.getY());
        link(containerShape, addedConditionalNode);
        return containerShape;
    }

    private Polygon createPolygon(ContainerShape containerShape){
		List<Point> points = new ArrayList<Point>(4);
		Point p1 = Graphiti.getGaService().createPoint(60, 100);
		Point p2 = Graphiti.getGaService().createPoint(80, 120);
		Point p3 = Graphiti.getGaService().createPoint(60, 140);
		Point p4 = Graphiti.getGaService().createPoint(40, 120);
		points.add(p1);
		points.add(p2);
		points.add(p3);
		points.add(p4);
		Polygon p = Graphiti.getGaService().createPolygon(containerShape, points);
		
		return p; 
	}
}


I am using version 0.8.1.v20110912-1027.

What is the reason for this strange behavior?

regards,

steven

This strange behaviour might be a bug, but your shape definition is also strange to me. Apart from using a ContainerShape where a plain Shape would seem enough, you are defining a polygon with coordinates shifted from the reference location (origin of the shape) (100px of 'top padding' and 40px of 'right padding'). Just change it to

		Point p1 = Graphiti.getGaService().createPoint(20, 0);
		Point p2 = Graphiti.getGaService().createPoint(40, 20);
		Point p3 = Graphiti.getGaService().createPoint(20, 40);
		Point p4 = Graphiti.getGaService().createPoint(0, 20);


and it will work as expected. The problem is that, depending on how the clickable-drageable area and how the final placement is computed (do we take into account the "full" shape with its 'padding' or just the polygon?) the behaviour can be incosistent to the user. In this case, when dragging the shape, the user only sees the square, but when the final placement is computed in

PointList pointList = toAbsoluteDraw2dPoints(polygon.getPoints(), polygonLocation);


the location of the polygon is assumed to be the origin of the shape and the 'paddings' are added...
