Hi,
i wrinting a plugin with a own perspective.
My plugin is a kind of monitor so it has a huge set of views i have to
show in the perspective.
I wish to splitt my perspective to 3 horizonatal and 3 verstial areas
(like #)and add to each area a view.
Until folder creation i can only provide a size related to the
allignment i.e. IPageLayout.LEFT.
IFolderLayout folder2 = layout.createFolder("MS", IPageLayout.LEFT,
0.3F, layout.getEditorArea());
folder2.addView(IHmcViewIds.MS_VIEW_ID);
Any hints?
Thanks
Stefan

Contribute the perspective using the org.eclipse.ui.perspectives
extension point. Extension needs to implement IPerspectiveFactory.
Implement the createInitialLayout method and manipulate the
IPageLayout object (argument of createInitialLayout).
Examples:
pageLayout.addView(ID_OF_VIEW,
IPageLayout.LEFT/RIGHT/TOP/BOTTOM,0.xxf,editorArea);
Ok this is what you should already do. What you can do now is
to create a perspective within your workbench, which looks
exactly the same way, you want want your perspective to look.
Now save the perspective as 'MyLovlyPerspective'. Save it and
exit the workbench. Now search for any file containing the string
'MyLovlyPerspective' within the .metadata directory of your
workbench directory. You will found some files like workbench.xml
or pref_store.ini. These files store the structure of the perspective
MyLovlyPerspective and you can look at the xml tags and how
they are structured. You can replicate the xml structure using
pageLayout methods. (should be easy though).
Think that will keeps you on track. You wont need to design
your perspective on paper, which is surly a pain.
Bye,
Martin (Kersten)

I allready use a PerspectiveFactory that setup the layout of my
perspective.
The problem is that you can't setup folders / views with coordinates.
You just can says fill n% of the free space from the top or left angel
with this folder. ;(

Sorry i think we are not on the same page.
I cant find a method that allows me to add a folder to the layout with
just 50% high and 50% width. I just can say 50 % from a angel.
The other demension is 100 % filled.
