Multiple nodes as target or source from one connection [message #241777] Fri, 14 March 2008 12:34 Go to next message

Hello,

is it possible that one connection has more than one target or source? I
mean, if a connection model has multiple targets (e.g. as a list), then
the connection branchs out on about its middle point to the multiple
targets. And inverse direction, too. I've serached information in
internet but I couldn't find out any... If it is possible, how can I do
it? I would be very grateful for any suggestions. Thank you.

Best regards,
Tomoko

Hi,

The simplest way is NO, which is confict with the framework design.
But maybe there are 2 ways to do this:
1, Customize an anchor for multi target figures.
2, Customize a router for connection branches.

Cheers,
Qinxian

Thank you for your response Qinxian,

ach, it conflicts with the framework design... Even though I've supposed
it but it's sadly. :(
The two way sound difficult for me ... but, I'll try it.
Do you think that connections can have multiple sources/targets and
reflect it on its figure with customized anchor or router? Maybe in
createFigure() in Connection EditPart...? If you have an idea, I would be
very grateful for your suggestion. Thank you.

Best regards,
Tomoko

i have one more crude idea is that you can use a sort of invisible editpart where your branching will take place.

the logic will be like when you will be connecting with a list an invisible edit part will be made which will act as a target for the main connection and for the several splits it will act as a source, in this way you will be able to move your point where the branching will take place, or can make it static using the edit policy for that edit part..,

Hi,
I speak too fast:)
Sorry, "Customize an anchor" is not an option.

IMO, bendpoint policy and manual router can be applied in your senario.
When move bendpont to multi-targets, the code must attrack the point
like behavior of anchor with endpoint.
So a target/source part be a bendpoint.

If no click interaction, this can be done in part automatically.

If you can accept, an invisible part maybe another option which stated
by sharad.

Qinxian

Hallo,

Thank you for all your suggestions, Qinxian and Sharad, and sorry for my late response.

Qinxian, sadly I can understand not all of your idea, because I don't know the behavior of anchor.. Do you mean, I should write a subclass of BendPointEditPolicy with own getCreateBendpointCommand method? But I don't know how I can connect Bendpoints and a real node programatically. Can I use a Bendpoint like invisible node and make it one of nodes without figure?(then it is nearly to the idea of sharad..?) I need more information about how to create connections between bendpoint/invisible nodes and real nodes. I must also ask how I can generally create connection without click action...(maybe in another thread, because it is an another thing).

Sorry, that I ask so much, but it is very difficult for me.
If you can give me more suggestions, I would be very glad and grateful... Thank you.

Best regards,
Tomoko
