Hello,

I am working with Spray, which generates Graphiti, as this Forum seems to be closest to what I am searching, I hope to find answers here.

The Model I am working with is Ecore. In my diagram (once the spray-project launched) I can create classes and packages and connect them with each-other. Now I would like to add the possibility to let a class be contained in a package (which is possible in the ecore model), but all I could find was references, which will add the classes name to the package, but not its graphical representation. How do I add (graphically) one Object to an other? Is it even possible, or do I need to inject handwritten graphiti?

Here is how I tried to do, but it gave the result I described above:

class EPackage {
	container (width=1000) {
		text ( )  { name }	
		reference eClassifiers;
		reference eSubpackages;
	}
	
   behavior {
        create into eSubpackages palette "Containers"
        askFor name 
    }
}

I'm afraid, this is the wrong place to ask. If you dealt directly with
Graphiti, you would simply add the top-level shape of the child
representation (EClass) to the desired parent (it's containment area).

For Spray you should have a look at:
http://code.google.com/a/eclipselabs.org/p/spray/

There's at least a wiki you could browse through, not sure if they offer a
forum as well.

this sounds interesting.. maybe I am wrong, Graphiti is still under intense development and bug fix, why come up with a framework that depends on Graphiti and generates Graphiti?

Hi Miriam,

it is currently not possible yet to define graphical containment relationships so you have to create a gap class for the generated add feature class to insert that logic on your own.

Feel free to fill an issue
http://code.google.com/a/eclipselabs.org/p/spray/issues/list

We also have a user forum:
http://groups.google.com/group/spray-users

@Johnny: I consider Graphiti as stable enough to be used as generation target platform and we had not experienced any bad issues with Graphiti while developing Spray the last 9 month.

Regards,
Joerg

Thank you, for your replies. I generated what I could with Spray and will now complete it with handwritten graphiti. Also thank you for your links Joerg, I didn't realise the "Mailing Group" link on the homepage was for the Spray forum.
