Automatica Layout issues [message #200999] Fri, 28 October 2005 15:53 Go to next message

All,

I have a fairly complex slayout in my editor consisting of 30 objects.
When I select automatic layout, everything gets messed up. Connects go in
no mans land, edit parts get positioned on top of each other.

Is there a know bug for this? And if so, are there any plans of fixing
this?

As well, I am working on storing the layout when the user switches from
manual to automatic so when they come back to manual, the old layout will
be restored as much as possible. Randy/Partik, would you be interested in
me submitting this back to GEf?

Regards,
Harsh

When you implement the Automatic Layout as a CompoundCommand, you can easily
undo it.

What automatic layout are your referring to? Is it your own?

No the standard one. I have seen it with the Schema example as well.

So I changed my code to execute the layout changes on the command stack so
I can undo/redo them. However, when I am in manual mode, my edit parts
are all over the editor and then when I switch to automatic, they get
moved around. I thought now if I undo the command (CompoundCommand that
is), everything should go back to the way it was. This is not the case
even though now manual mode is enabled.

Any ideas?
Thank You,
Harsh
