Creating a time scale [message #222802] Wed, 13 September 2006 09:54 Go to next message

Hey

I am using GEF to create a GANTT chart sort of display. It displays n
rectangular figures placed vertically and each rectangle further contains
thin slabs placed inside that rectangle at some distance from each other.

I want to show a time scale in this display. I am not having any good idea
of how to create a time line and how to show the intervals between the
child rectangular slabs ?

Please somebody who can give me information on creating such a time line
in GEF, please suggest.

Even a small idea is welcome.

Thanks & Regards,
Kristine

You can put the chart into its own edit part who's figure draws the axis
around the chart.

Hope this helps.

Maybe you need a layout manager in the parent figure or override
getPreferredSize().

I'm fighting a similar problem right now without any
resolution yet.

What solves my problem right now is to call setSize() in the figure that
wasn't showing up before.

I've finally figured out my problem. Anyways, assuming you want layout
your ruler using an XYLayout then subclass the ruler figure and override
addNotify() to also set the bounds the ruler, i.e. size and location.

By default, figures start with size 0 and location (0,0). These values are
meant to be updated by the layout manager of the parent figure.
