Does anyone have any suggestions for disabling the Palette? I don't need it and I'd prefer it not be there as a source of confusion for my users.

I've looked through the source and the palette seems to be pretty deeply embedded in GEF so I understand that it's unlikely that I could make it go away entirely. I'd be satisfied with a solution that just made it start off minimized and prevented it from being opened.

Actually, we implemented this possiblity with Juno M1 for Graphiti 0.9.0,
see https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=323354.

In case you want to do it yourself in earlier Graphiti versions: it's really
deeply hidden inside GEF. You will need to change FlyoutPreferences returned
in DiagramEditorInternal.getPalettePreferences to return 8 at
getPaletteState (8 stands for
org.eclipse.gef.ui.palette.FlyoutPaletteComposite.STATE_HIDDEN which is
private).

HTH,
Michael

I upgraded my target platform and got my editor WithoutFlyoutPalette. That works great. I guess the downside for me is that the palette was the mechanism that allowed be to, relatively easily, get down to a point in the code where I could call setMarqueeBehavior(GFMarqueeSelectionTool.BEHAVIOR_NODES_AND_CONNECTIONS) on the default drag tracker. It looks like when the palette is turned off, the default drag tracker is now controlled by DiagramEditPart whose behavior is much harder to change without patching Graphiti itself. Any ideas?
