Hi,

I am trying to resize an org.eclipse.draw2d.Label inside my customized graph node but I couldn't. Could you help me with that please?

I used setSize() or setPreferredSize() after the label got an image, font and text. But didn't work. The goal is to make labels resize to constitute a chart diagram inside the nodes!!
Label histogramLabel = new Label();
histogramLabel.setIcon(image);
histogramLabel.setBackgroundColor(color);
histogramLabel.setOpaque(true);
histogramLabel.setText(Integer.toString(someNum));
histogramLabel.setFont(GraphicsUtils.nodeFont(7));
		
figPart.add(histogramLabel);


The figPart above is an instance of this class
public class CompartmentFigure extends Figure {

	  public CompartmentFigure(boolean border,ToolbarLayout layout) {
	    
	    layout.setHorizontal(true);
	    layout.setStretchMinorAxis(false);
	    layout.setSpacing(0);
	    setLayoutManager(layout);
	    
	    if (border) setBorder(new CompartmentFigureBorder());
	  }
	    
	  public class CompartmentFigureBorder extends AbstractBorder {
	    public Insets getInsets(IFigure figure) {
	      return new Insets(1,0,0,0);
	    }
	    public void paint(IFigure figure, Graphics graphics, Insets insets) {
	      graphics.drawLine(getPaintRectangle(figure, insets).getTopLeft(),
	                        tempRect.getTopRight());
	    }
	  }
	}

If the label could be resized by the layout of the containing figure, then please tell me how? I would also be not angary if some one introduced me a better way to do a histogram (chart diagram) inside a graph node.

Thank you,
Mok

Hi,

the ToolbarLayout you use is responsible for setting size to the histogramLabel.
It depends on its internal algorithm if and how it uses the histogramLabel's preferred size.

What are you trying to achieve?

Hi, I am trying to resize the label to reflect the number it holds.
Domain-speaking, I have some dataset that I visualize in terms of a matrix of nodes. Every node has inner elements and I want to depict the node as a square graph node and its elements as histogram (bar chart). All is done sofar except stretching these freaky labels to look like a histogram. Any help is appreciated Smile

Thank you.
Mok

I can't imagine it. Any image would be helpful.

Setting a text on the LabelFigure should cause to revalidate all figures up in the tree
and layout the LabelFigure to show its whole text accordingly unless you limit a parent with some kind of layout hints.

http://oi45.tinypic.com/sq1pbk.jpg
that is an image what I wish it to look like. Labels are resized according to their contents (numbers of elements)

snippets:
//label creation
Label histogramLabel = new Label();

histogramLabel.setIcon(image);
histogramLabel.setBackgroundColor(color);
histogramLabel.setOpaque(true);
histogramLabel.setText(Integer.toString(someNum));
histogramLabel.setFont(GraphicsUtils.nodeFont(7));
//HERE I WANT TO RESIZE THE LABEL ????!??
figPart.add(histogramLabel);


color is an org.eclipse.swt.graphics.Color. image is org.eclipse.swt.graphics.Image


Thank you for helping

So the labels are not sized based on the text size, but on its contents meaning, right? 5 should be five times wider than 1?

I got it Smile I will use space or special char to enforce the label size wider or narrower.
sth like
histogramLabel.setText("   "+ Integer.toString(count));


Thank you for help Smile

I can see the Label figure clears its preferred size when invalidate. That's the reason why your setting are ignored.

You have a few ways to do what you want:
- You can modify the Label figure. I don't recommend that.
- You can use the grid layout. It can override child's preferred size.
- You can use your own layout. This is the most powerful and complex option.
I would recommend that when you would have more unusual layout requirements like this one.
See SWT layout. Draw2d layout is very similar.

There is a hint for you if you decide to the GridLayout:
import org.eclipse.draw2d.ColorConstants;
import org.eclipse.draw2d.Figure;
import org.eclipse.draw2d.FigureCanvas;
import org.eclipse.draw2d.GridData;
import org.eclipse.draw2d.GridLayout;
import org.eclipse.draw2d.IFigure;
import org.eclipse.draw2d.Label;
import org.eclipse.draw2d.RectangleFigure;
import org.eclipse.draw2d.XYLayout;
import org.eclipse.draw2d.geometry.Rectangle;
import org.eclipse.swt.layout.FillLayout;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Shell;


public class XXX {
	
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		final int magicNumber = 10;
		
		Display display = new Display();
		Shell shell = new Shell(display);
		shell.setLayout(new FillLayout());
		
		FigureCanvas canvas = new FigureCanvas(shell);
		
		IFigure contents = new Figure();
		contents.setOpaque(true);
		contents.setBackgroundColor(ColorConstants.white);
		contents.setLayoutManager(new XYLayout());
		canvas.setContents(contents);
		
		RectangleFigure container = new RectangleFigure();
		GridLayout layout = new GridLayout();
		container.setLayoutManager(layout);
		contents.add(container, new Rectangle(100, 100, -1, -1));
		
		Label histogramLabel = new Label("1");
		histogramLabel.setBackgroundColor(ColorConstants.lightBlue);
		histogramLabel.setOpaque(true);
		GridData layoutData = new GridData();
		layoutData.widthHint = magicNumber * 1;
		container.add(histogramLabel, layoutData);
		
		histogramLabel = new Label("5");
		histogramLabel.setBackgroundColor(ColorConstants.lightGray);
		histogramLabel.setOpaque(true);
		layoutData = new GridData();
		layoutData.widthHint = magicNumber * 5;
		container.add(histogramLabel, layoutData);
		
		histogramLabel = new Label("3");
		histogramLabel.setBackgroundColor(ColorConstants.lightGreen);
		histogramLabel.setOpaque(true);
		layoutData = new GridData();
		layoutData.widthHint = magicNumber * 3;
		container.add(histogramLabel, layoutData);
		
		shell.setSize(300, 300);
		shell.open();
		
		while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
			if (!display.readAndDispatch()) {
				display.sleep();
			}
		}
	}
}

I really thank you Jan Krakora for this nice demo. I ran it and its nice Smile Just one thing. What is magicNumber?? I suppose it is the width of the containing rectangular.

Best Regards,
Mok from Bonn

It's a constant value that converts values from labels to width pixels. You can convert label values to pixels any way you want.
