How see root figure image through transparent child [message #217998] Fri, 16 June 2006 14:41 Go to next message

Hi all,

I have a question about transparent figures. I've searched older posts
and found hints but couldn't solve my problem. So please bear with me :)

I have created a ScalableFreeformRootEditPart and a top level EditPart
for my model which draws a FreeformLayer.

I'm overwriting paintFigure() in the FreeformLayer to make it paint an
image in the back (found that tip in the archive- thanks!) That one
works well.

Now I create child figures (a Panel with a StackLayout and other IFigure
objects in there) on top of that root figure.

I want them to be transparent so that the image would shine through.
Transparency works if I set the background color of the root figure.
That color would then appear in my child figures. But that mechanism
does not work with the image.

I hope you can give me some clues so I get this puzzle piece finally in
place.

Thank you very much,
Torsten.

So your saying the background color shines through the children but the
background image does not?

Yes, thats the case. If I set a background color (and an image), this
one shines through the children. If I only set an image I see white
shining through the children but never the image.

To answer myself:

I have subclassed the Panel that hold my child figure:

itsFigure = new Panel() {
@Override
protected void paintFigure(Graphics graphics)
{
Image img = getBackgroundImage();
if (img != null)
{
graphics.drawImage(img, 0, 0);
} else {
super.paintFigure(graphics);
}
}
};

The image is a 1 pixel transparent gif image. Works very nice!
