Automatic resizing of parent figures [message #229671] Wed, 24 January 2007 07:42 Go to next message

Dear all,

I have been using GEF for a while, and maybe I could do the task in the
subject, but I'm afraid, that it would be too hard-wired. Therefore I would
like to ask maybe you have a good article describing how to enable automatic
figure resizing if child elements were added/properties changed, etc, so
that new children and properties also get visible automaticly and no manual
resize is necessary.

(Shall I use some specific layout manager (so far i use Stack and Toolbar
and Flowlayout without constraints of course) with some LayoutConstraint?)

Thank you,
Andras

Take a look at the Database Schema Diagram Editor. It shows the usage of
the Draw2D DirectedGraphLayout.
