Hello,

We have a tool to graphically model UML component diagrams, but the source
code begins to stink. I am now evaluating libraries to help us with the
task. I studied the well-known “Display a UML Diagram using Draw2D” article.
The problem is that we need far more sophisticated decorators on our
connections: lollipops and sockets.

The attached picture illustrates the way it is done now. As you can see, the
connection marked with “hand” has lollipop and socket connected, but the
connection actually doesn’t run through. What’s more, we even have
unconnected lollipops (“finger”) and sockets (“arm”). All these are
essential for UML component diagrams. (While the colours and the orientation
are not.)

Can anyone point me to a resource explaining this, or is this just not
possible with Draw2D?

Bye,
Mike

Hi Michael

Yes you can do this with Draw2d, look at PolygonDecoration support on
connections.

If you google the term you should fine some pointers.

Cheers...
Anthony

Thank you for your answer, but my Google searches turn up nothing. If you
meant ie. http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-GEF-Draw2d/GEF-Draw2 d.html
or other tutorials, they do not get to the finer points.

My problem is twofold:
a) The decoration is not a polygon (not even one with infinite points). It
is two lines (a ball and a socket) which do not even touch.
b) The decorators should be even there for unconnected nodes, so they are
probably not even a Decoration at all, since these apply to
PolyLineConnections only.

Is there any more elaborate documentation on Draw2D? Even a book would be
acceptable :-)

Bye,
Mike
