Problem with figures in draw2d [message #236432] Wed, 27 June 2007 17:25 Go to next message

Hi!

I'm trying to use gradients on my figures, using draw2d. But I have some
trouble with that. In the paint method of the root figure, I use the
setBackgroundPattern, and to make it visible I call the method
fillRectangle. But that make all my other childfigures disappear because
of the fillRectangle method.
Is there a way to make gradients on figures instead of using the Graphic
object? Or how can I otherwise solve th problem?

Many thanks

Martin

Hi Martin,

Attached is an example for a GradientRectangleFigure.

Note that setBackgroundPattern() is not implemented by ScaledGraphics. This
may be a problem for you if you require zoom or print support.

Cheers...

Thanks Anthony

It worked great for all figures except for the root figure that is of
type FreeformLayer. Do you know what to to about that one?

One more thing. I do require zoom, do you know if there is a workaround
for solving that problem?

Thanks again

Martin

Hi Martin,

How do you propose to draw a gradient on a figure that has no bounds
(FreeformLayer)?

The ScaledGraphics issue is
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=132361 , which also has no
proposal yet.

Cheers...
Anthony
