Hi all,
Can a child figure draw outside the parent?
Basically, I have some code that does that already by translating the
Graphics object to local coordinates and then filling a polygon that
extends to negative coordinates.
This conflicts with what is said in the draw2d programmer's guide:
Clipping
When a figure paints its children, it first clips the Graphics to its
client area. As each child is painted, the graphics is also clipped to the
child's bounds. This prevents the child from painting outside of its
bounds or the client area of the parent. Clipping is cumulative based on
the entire parent chain. Below, Figure 3 is parented by Figure 2, which is
parented by Figure 1.
PS I'm using the Graphics class from gmf, so I'm not sure if this changes
things.
thanks for your answers,
Vlad

I've figured it out, parent figure are the ones that control the clipping
area.
