I'm knee deep working on my first GMF based application. I've got a
requirement where I need a label figure that can be moved and placed
independently of the main figure, however still be part of the same edit
part or specifically model element. Basically, I need a label figure
can then be moved around the diagram, renamed, or removed but ultimately
they share the same model element.
I was having a lot of difficulty trying to understand how to do this
manually when I noticed in the gmfgen that you can specify an External
Node Label for my Edit Parts. I think this is what I'm looking for but
I couldn't find any documentation about that option anywhere.
If this is what I'm looking for, it seems that an external node label
requires a "viewmap" and a "diagramRunTimeClass". Not sure what exactly
to put in for those.
Please advise. Thanks!
Matt
