Hello!

I'm trying to build some editor and it needs to be very flexible/adjustable.
So i know which Elements i get in the Palette recently at Start or at run-time of my Editor. My idea is i load which Element-type i have from a File/Database and show all this Elements in my Palette (and can use them).
Something like that:
at the beginning i have just a Task,Role,Output,Input and Tool. So the User can have a possibility to add some another Elements to Editor at the run-time.
At this time i can just predefine my Elements and can show and use them in my Palette

i have a question, is it possible to "load" all Elements to the Palette at Start of the Editor? If it is possible can somebody give me an Idea how i should try? or much the better a code-snippet?

and another question is, is it possible to add .svg icons to my Objects/Elements? With .png/.jpg i have no problems but is it possible to add svg in Graphiti? (maybe with Apache Batik? I starting to try this, but it doesn't works yet)

I would be veeeery happy!I'm trying to solve this problem since 2 week's Sad

I read the content of an existing (template) model and create palette
entries so you can drag'n drop them into new models. You essentially
read the model using normal API and create an appropriate palette
structure. I've pasted code from my tool behavior provider below,
hopefully you'll be able to understand the structure even though there's
a lot of noise...

@Override
public IPaletteCompartmentEntry[] getPalette() {
IPaletteCompartmentEntry[] superCompartments = super.getPalette();
List<IPaletteCompartmentEntry> libraryCompartments =
getLibraryCompartments();
List<IPaletteCompartmentEntry> allCompartments = new
ArrayList<IPaletteCompartmentEntry>(Arrays.asList(superCompartments));
allCompartments.addAll(libraryCompartments);
return allCompartments.toArray(new
IPaletteCompartmentEntry[allCompartments.size()]);
}

private Collection<EObject> defaultLibraryContainers = null;

private Collection<EObject> getDefaultLibraryContainers() {
if (defaultLibraryContainers == null) {

EObject libraryContainer =
modelFacade.createEntity(ModelFacade.EntityKind.ACTOR_CONTAINER,
"Default library", null);

EObject actor1 =
modelFacade.createEntity(ModelFacade.EntityKind.ATOMIC_ACTOR,
"Input1Output1Actor", libraryContainer);
modelFacade.createPort(ModelFacade.PortKind.INPUT, "input", actor1);
modelFacade.createPort(ModelFacade.PortKind.OUTPUT, "output",
actor1);

EObject actor2 =
modelFacade.createEntity(ModelFacade.EntityKind.ATOMIC_ACTOR,
"Input2Output1Actor", libraryContainer);
modelFacade.createPort(ModelFacade.PortKind.INPUT, "input1", actor2);
modelFacade.createPort(ModelFacade.PortKind.INPUT, "input2", actor2);
modelFacade.createPort(ModelFacade.PortKind.OUTPUT, "output",
actor2);

defaultLibraryContainers = new ArrayList<EObject>();
defaultLibraryContainers.add(libraryContainer);
}
return defaultLibraryContainers;
}

private List<IPaletteCompartmentEntry> getLibraryCompartments() {

Thank you for your answer!
it helps me just a little bit, but i found a way how i can reload my Palette and how i can add some new Entries during the run-time.

i have some another question, know somebody how i can load and add SVG file to an containerShape?
Its easy to add some jpg/png File's but know somebody how i can add svg?

AFAIK, the underlying SWT Image class does not support SVG format, so I
would guess there's no way here...

I found some solution if somebody have interest

its possible to add png? so the solution is to convert .svg in the needed size to .png and add this png to some shape or what ever.
during the element resizing in editor, i think it needed to be convert every time to get the right icon size.
I don't know if it is the best solution because i don't finish it, but it should be working
here is good example how to convert svg->png (with batik)
