Hi,
Is it Possible to show GraphicalEditor inside composite and not Editor?

Right now I display gef like this:

IWorkbenchPage page = PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActivePage();	
				
 page.openEditor(editorInput,EditorGEF.ID, true);

I need to display the graph in "dialog window".

Hi,

The best way in your case don't use GraphicalEditor and use directly graphical viewer. It will looks like that:

        final Composite viewerComposite = toolkit.createComposite(composite);
        viewerComposite.setLayout(new FillLayout());
        final GraphicalViewer viewer = new ScrollingGraphicalViewer();
        viewer.createControl(viewerComposite);

Thanks,
Igor

I've managed to display graph in dialog but now I have problem with
ScrollingGraphicalViewer, I don't get the scrolling bars.

private void initialize() {

 this.initData();
  this.setLayout(new FillLayout());

final GraphicalViewer viewer = new ScrollingGraphicalViewer();
        
viewer.createControl(this); //this class extends Composite
viewer.setEditDomain(new DefaultEditDomain(null));           
viewer.setRootEditPart(new ScalableFreeformRootEditPart());

//CustomEditPartFactory extends EditPartFactory
CustomEditPartFactory customEditPartFactory = new CustomEditPartFactory(this);      

viewer.setEditPartFactory(customEditPartFactory);
        
viewer.setContents(model); 
        
CompoundDirectedGraph graph = new CompoundDirectedGraph();
graph.nodes = nodes;
graph.edges = edges;
new CompoundDirectedGraphLayout().visit(graph);

}

After investigating i've found out that I get the scroll bars when i try to move figures outside the initial frame.

But at initialization, the diagram size is > size of the shell size.

So the question how to specify the size of the ScrollingGraphicalViewer?

Hi,

First of all extend Composite is not good experience. Probably it is enough to use standard composite with FillLayout

viewer.createControl(composite);

Probably try to use ScalableRootEditPart instead of ScalableFreeformRootEditPart:

viewer.setRootEditPart(new ScalableRootEditPart ());

So the main issue that scrolls are not shown initially? But when you try to move figure outside the editor it properly layouted and scrolls are shown?

Thanks,
Igor
