Add containment Feature for an Object [message #1059027]

Hello,
I am wondering whether Graphiti provides the containment feature for an object same as that of Eugenia. For example, if I have two objects, object1 and object2, and I want object2 to be dropped over object1 and then rendered as contained figure of object1 figure. It is one of the default functionality in Eugenia EMF framework. Is there any way to do this in Graphiti. I tried to implement it somehow, but the logic doesn't seem to work. Any suggestions will be helpful.
Thanks,
Cheers,
Heeren

Hi,
Some examples you can find in projects:

BPMN 2.0 Modeler:
https://git.eclipse.org/c/bpmn2-modeler/org.eclipse.bpmn2-modeler.git
Where you can add a Boundary Event to a Task.

Activiti Designer:
https://github.com/Activiti/Activiti-Designer.git
The same functionality, but more types of Boundary Events

Thank you very much for the reply.
I did it by defining the particular parent component for containment as the targetContainer instead of Canvas.
Cheers

GMF (which Eugenia provides a textual syntax for, if I'm not mistaken)
lets you model the relation between the domain model and graphical
notation. In Graphiti, this must be done by hand. Take a look at Spray,
which does something similar for Graphiti.
