Draw2d Figures Docking [message #198376]

Hi all,

I'm trying to build an editor based on GEF which should have two figures
docked to the vertical borders of the editing area. Other elements will be
added in the remaining central area.

I've tried implementing a figure which overrides the set/getBounds
functions to properly set the right size but with wrong results.

I think the best way to solve my problem would be using Layout Managers,
but don't know how to dock the two figures and have the others painted in
the "free" area.

Can you point out a way to solve this problem?

Thank you,

Luca

Hi Luca,

extend XYLayout, override layout() by copy/pasting the code , identify your
2 figures and layout them
to your needs. For the others, let the original code do the work.
(Thats only a solution using a layoutmanager...there are a lots more!)
Regards, Ingo
