Hello Group!

i have some problems with the "opaque"-ness of a figure.

As a figure for my editpart, i wrote a class extending rectangleFigure =
(which itselfs extends shape) and i override the method fillShape() with =
something like graphics.fillRectangle(....)
This works pretty fine, the rectangle appears in the background, =
although, it is not opaque but half-transparent.

The method isOpaque() of the class shape is implemented with "return =
false".
Overriding it with the code of the superclass Figure has no effect.

Anybody an idea of how to getting this figure opaque?

Thanx, Ingo

What exactly are you trying to do? How is your Figure similar to a Shape,
but different from a RectangleFigure? Can you tell us what exactly you are
doing in the overridden fillShape() method? I am sure you know that
fillShape() in RectangleFigure already does a
graphics.fillRectangle(getBounds()).

You need to call setOpaque(true) to make the Figure opaque. This, however,
doesn't apply to Shapes, and I don't think it's the problem here. What
Color are you using as the background? And how do you set it? Do you
override any other methods, like paintFigure()? Can you provide a
screenshot to show what exactly you mean when you say half-transparent? You
don't have the XORs on by any chance, do you?

a: yes i do know. the fillShape method does only this:
graphics.setBackgroundColor(bgColor);
graphics.setForegroundColor(bgColor);
graphics.fillRectangle(getBounds().getExpanded(-10,-10));

however,

a: As i mentioned, setOpaque has no effect... even when i override
isOpaque().

Ok, solved the problem.
The canvasfigure has caused the trouble!

Anyway, thanx for the replies!

Can you post what the problem was and how you solved it? That way, anybody
else having a similar problem will know of something to lookout for.

Just as a suggestion, I don't think you need to override RectangleFigure to
do what you are doing (as far as I can tell from what you have posted so
far). You might want to try something like this instead:

IFigure rect = new RectangleFigure();
rect.setBorder(new MarginBorder(10));
rect.setBackgroundColor(ColorConstants.blue);
rect.setForegroundColor(ColorConstants.blue);
