Hi,

I want to draw string in the figure, and I must know the width the string, how to get such info? I know that GC has such method to get it, but how to get GC in figure object?

Thanks. Robin

Can you use a label figure and add it to the figure?

Thank you.
With your clue, I found the util class FigureUtilities which can do this and that.

I'll have to do this myself later and thought I'd just get the dimensions
of a label that I added the text to. Can you detial how you did it if you
get it to work.

If you need to draw a string inside a node, perhaps, you all you need is
indeed create a GEF's label figure and add it to the node figure. For the
node figure install GEF's tool bar layout or stack layout manager, this
will resize the node figure to fit the entire label figure (i.e. to fit
the whole string). The closest example to this would StickyNoteFigure from
GEF logic example editor.
Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Alex
