Hi all!
I'm trying to get something like that :
child _____________ child
[]-----| container |---[]
| | other
other | |---[]
[]-----|_____________|
I can easily get:
_____________
| container |
|child |
| [] child |
|________[]___|
I thought about using a biggest and invisible container rectangle but I
can't manage to sort out the layouts in order to get something good.
Have you got any advice in order to do that, or may be a sample project or
documentation to point me to ?
thanks

Hello!
Is there any constraint how far children may be located from the container?

Hello!
I could suggest you two approaches:
1. Use diagram structure that differs from domain model structure as
discussed in "Semantical container != Graphical container"; you'll find
yourself hacking through the labyrinths of gmf code soon but in the end
you'll be able to get exactly what you need.
2. Define container figure with transparent border and use diagram
structure you say "I can easily get". Note that you should not use
draw2d Border since children can't be placed over it; possible solution
is to write custom figure that overrides paintFigure() method to paint
smaller rectangle (and optionally containsPoint() /
findDescendantAtExcluding() to make border transparent for mouse clicks).

Thank you for all these information, I'll try that :)
