Re: [epsilon-dev] epsilon-dev Digest, Vol 58, Issue 3
Hello Betty (and everyone),

Yes! There is a way to associate extensions to specific Picto visualisations.

In Picto, the different available visualisations are denoted as PictoSources. For instance, the pictoSource associated with general .picto extensions is a StandalonePictoSource. However, there are already several other pictoSources available, which directly understand some model extensions, such as .dot, .html or .svg files. If you open a .dot file, it would be visualised right away without needing a .picto file. There are other supported extensions, such as .emf Emfatic files, that still need some extra information at the moment.

Apart from what Picto offers out of the box, there is an extension point to define your own PictoSource visualisations. So, you could create a custom PictoSource to visualise your .library models without the need of creating a .picto file every time. As an example, that extension point is the one I am using to define .pictodiff files to show the differences between two model files [1].


Kind Regards,
Alfonso

Hi Dimitris,

Thanks for publishing the Picto article!

I was wondering if there is a way in which we could associate a Picto configuration for a model with a specific extension. For example lets say that model instances of a library ecore metamodel ended with the *.library extension and I wanted all of them to be associated with a specific Picto visualisation. As I understand it, we currently need to create a *.library.picto file for each of the model instances. Is this something that Picto could support? Maybe the Picto file could be associated to the ecore metamodel and targeted to instances with a specific extension or conformant with the metamodel.

Any thoughts?

Regards
Betty
