Hi.

I've just started looking at your technology and it looks awesome. I was wondering if it was possible to have edge connections to individual elements in a list (in a diagram) or if an edge could only be connected to the listbox itself (container).

Thanks in advance,
Sean

Hi Sean,

The edge end cannot be connected to list item in a container using only
Sirius. But as Sirius is GMF based it should be possible to use the GMF
API to provide your own ConnectionAnchor to locate the edge end on list
item.

Best Regards.

I realize that I'm replying to an ancient message, but I'm pretty sure that what Sean describes is what I'm looking to do. I have list items in one container that each connect to different list items in another container, and I want to see the lines between each of them (to show mapping of fields between two different classes, for instance). Like this:

index.php/fa/20142/0/

I'm not sure where to look in the source to extend Sirius with this capability. Any hints?

Thanks!

Hello,

Sorry for the delay of this reply. Actually, we have a specification of
this evolution that was asked by a client, but was not elected to be
implemented. However, this was written before Sirius became open-source.
Therefore, there is no bugzilla yet. Can you create a bugzilla for this
evolution? I will clean up/update the specification and add it to this
bugzilla.

Regards,
Steve

Thanks! bugzilla 455056 submitted. I would attempt the implementation myself but I'm not sure where to begin. Is there a way to get a rough idea in a couple of bullet points, if only to more easily familiarize myself with the Sirius codebase, or am I better off just waiting to see what comes of the bug report?

Hello,

Thank you for the bugzilla creation. If you want a quick spoiler of the
specification :), you will need to :
- update the sirius metamodel for DNodeListElement to have the same
behavior than DNode;
- update the editparts DNodeListElementEditPart to be more than just a
label;
- update the edit policies and view factories;
- update the behavior of style refresh and tools for this edit part.

I will join the document to the bugzilla as soon as possible.

Regards,
Steve
