[Eugenia] Create a second label in a Rectangle Figure [message #760955] Mon, 05 December 2011 17:29 Go to next message

Hello everybody.

I created a node from following emfatic code.

@gmf.node(label="identifier,content", border.width="2",border.color="0,0,0",size="130,50",figure="rectangle", label.pattern="{0} : {1}")
class Goal extends StandardNode 
{
attr String identifier;
attr String content;
}


Im using the Message Format here.
What i want to achieve is a second label in the node, appear at a fixed place inside the node.

The result should look like an automatic generated node. The identifier should appear as always.
But the second label "content" should be placed at a specific point.

So i think i have to change the .gmfgraph file.
I already looked at the tutorial, but i can't imagine how to do this.

Any more tutorials ? ideas ?
Particularly i need to know how doing this in EOL.
Is there a complete Syntax of EOL anywhere ?

When i try doing it like this :

var GoalFigure = GmfGraph!Rectangle.all.
    selectOne(r|r.name = 'GoalFigure');
    
    GoalFigure.label = new GmfGraph!Label;


The object is inserted as a sibling of the main canvas.
Is there any reference about the properties etc. ?


Greetings

Ok i think i have found out how to do it.

I set a new ChildAccess and an new Label unter my Figure Descriptor GoalFigure.

Then i add a new Diagram Label to Canvas, setting all the options like they are in the first auto-generated label.

But i changed one think, because i want this label to appear at the bottom of my figure.

I set "Affixed Parent Side" to : SOUTH
and "Resize Constraint" to : SOUTH

afterwards i set a new mapping accordingly as they are set in the auto-generated label, inserting all the relevant attributes from my new label.

At first it works great. But the label was not really at the bottom. I appears alligned in the middle and to on the left side of my Figure.

And the second thing i realized. I can't start my GSNModel.diagram file.
When i do this i got some strange exeptions.

What im doing wrong ?
I tried to do everything like the auto generated label. All i change was the Affixed Parent Side and Resize Constraint.

Ok i think i fixed all my problems.

Just one remaining.

It seems like it doesn't matter, what "AffixedParentSide" i choose.
The label always appears in the same position.

How can i change that ?

Hi,

This looks like a pure GMF question so I'd try the GMF forum instead.

Cheers,
Dimitris

Is it really ?

What if i dont want to change the .gmfmap ?

I created the following CustomNode.


package gsnModel.diagram.figures;

import org.eclipse.draw2d.BorderLayout;
import org.eclipse.draw2d.Figure;
import org.eclipse.draw2d.Graphics;
import org.eclipse.draw2d.IFigure;
import org.eclipse.draw2d.PositionConstants;
import org.eclipse.draw2d.geometry.Point;
import org.eclipse.draw2d.geometry.PointList;
import org.eclipse.draw2d.geometry.Rectangle;

import org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.draw2d.ui.figures.WrappingLabel;


public class StrategyFigure extends Figure {
	
	 @Override
	  public void paint(Graphics graphics) {
	    
	    Rectangle r = getBounds();
	    
	    // Define the points of a trapez
	    Point p1 = new Point(r.x + r.width/5, r.y);
	    Point p2 = new Point(r.x  + r.width, r.y);
	    Point p3 = new Point (r.x -r.width/5 +r.width, r.y + r.height);  
	    Point p4 = new Point (r.x,  r.y + r.height);
	    
	    
	    PointList pointList = new PointList();
	    pointList.addPoint(p1);
	    pointList.addPoint(p2);
	    pointList.addPoint(p3);
	    pointList.addPoint(p4);
	    
	    // Fill the shape
	    graphics.fillPolygon(pointList);
	    
	    // Draw the outline
	    graphics.drawLine(p1, p2);
	    graphics.drawLine(p2, p3);
	    graphics.drawLine(p3, p4);
	    graphics.drawLine(p4, p1);
	    
	    // Move the label to the centre of the diamond
	    WrappingLabel label = (WrappingLabel) this.getChildren().get(0);
	    //System.out.println(this.getChildren().get(0).toString());
	    
	    label.setAlignment(PositionConstants.BOTTOM | PositionConstants.RIGHT );
	    label.paint(graphics);
	    
	 }
	
}


This figure has 2 Labels.
Now i want to arrange them in my Node.
One should appear always in the top left of the figure.
The other one should appear in the center.
The problem is when i use :
label.setAlignment(PositionConstants.TOP | PositionConstants.LEFT );


the text gets out of the figure.
So i got two question. How i can set the text that it starts in the Figure ?
And how i can get these thing with the three dots, when the text is too long ?

Is there no other way to set the labels in the Figure ?
the setAlignment() method is really bad...i want for example give specific points relative to my figure.

Hi,

These are pure GMF questions indeed. EuGENia only takes you as far as the *.gmf* models and then invokes the built-in GMF generator. Therefore, any questions about how to modify the *.gmf* models or the generated code should really be addressed to the GMF forum.

Cheers,
Dimitris
