Animation... [message #206940]

I found this very cool animation feature in the logic example code:
....
protected void refreshVisuals() {
Animation.markBegin();
ConnectionLayer cLayer = (ConnectionLayer) getLayer(CONNECTION_LAYER);
cLayer.setAntialias(SWT.ON);
...
cLayer.setConnectionRouter(...);
Animation.run(400);
}

....

and in the example it works all fine (and looks super cool, btw!) so of
course I wanted to add that to my application as well. I copied the
above code snippet but when I change the router setting in my
application no animation takes place at all but rather the router
changes immediately (as it used to before).

Why is this not workin in my code? What am I missing here? Does one
somehow have to enable that feature first? I found no code, that looked
like it would do so. Is this maybe some "side-effect" of some other,
innocently looking call, that enables animation?

Animation works by adding LayoutListeners or RoutingListeners to the figures
to be animated.
See createFigure in WireEditPart for the 3rd line of code that is needed.
enjoy, but don't abuse ;-).

Aaah - now it works - thanks! That detail had slipped my attention!
As I said: super cool! :-)
