Hi all,

I have small doubt, could u plz solve this....

I want to provide a name at the bottom of the icon, i mean the name should
be part of the icon but it should be seperated from the icon.

so that the name cannot be reflect the size of an icon and should not be on
the icon.

Thanks
Imran

Hi Imran,

Let me see if i understand that right...
You've got a class XXX with Attribute "name";

gmfgraph:
You can define your graphical representation without Label Child
(XXXFigure).
Create a new Label Figure in your Figure Gallery root (and Diagram Label
in the Canvas - XXXLabel). Set the Label's Affixed Parent Side to the
Node-Side where you want your Label.

gmfmap:
Node reference with Figure XXXFigure and Child Label Mapping to XXXLabel.

Now the label sould be attached to his figure.

greets
Thomas

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for ur reply.
But my problem is,
When I drag an icon from the palette to the diagram surface, It will ask for
name(label).
It is on the icon's body but I want the name should be at the bottom and
also it is separated from the icon.

Thanks
Imran

Hmm

if you do it like i explained - than you get something like that:

**********
* FIGURE *
* *
**********
LABEL

If you drag the figure the label moves with the figure.

Thomas' instructions worked for me. When I moved the label from being a
child of the figure representing the node to being a sibling and after
setting everything else as Thomas wrote the label is out side the figure
representing the node.

Thanks Thomas.

Cheers,
Jonathan

Hello,
I am trying to repeat this steps but I don't get what I want. I want to display the name of a block called "Module" outside it, on the top.

In the gmfgraph, I have:
- Label ModuleNameFigure
- Figure Descriptor ModuleFigure
____- Rectangle ModuleFigure
________- ...
____- Child Access getFigureModuleNameFigure
________(properties=> accessor:getFigureModuleNameFigure, Figure:Label ModuleNameFigure)
- Diagram Label ModuleName
____(properties=> accessor: getFigureModuleNameFigure, affixed parent side: NORTH, Figure: Figure Descriptor ModuleFigure, ...)

In the gmfmap, I have:
- Top Node Reference <module:module/module>
____- Node Mapping <module/module>
________- Label Mapping false
____________(properties=> Diagram Label: Diagram Label NormalModeName, ...)

What am I missing?
