Jaap, Jacques:
The figure for the connection handles on shapes also changes based on
the side of the shape the connection handles appear on. I solved the
initialization problem discussed in the other thread in the connection
handles, by putting the locator.relocate() call in the border item
figure's validate() method. It seemed sense to put it here to me as
this is where the layout of the figure is normally triggered. I'm not
sure if this will work for your scenario.
As for rotating a figure, there is a rotate() method on the
org.eclipse.draw2d.Graphics class. This method is implemented in the
SWTGraphics class, but not in GMF's ScaledGraphics class. I would
suggest you create a bugzilla to add this support to GMF's
ScaledGraphics class, or better yet, try it yourself first and include
your results in the bugzilla. I'm not sure if there are any
implications to this or if it was just overlooked in GMF.
Regards,
Cherie

Hi Cherie,
How did you do that with the invalidate()? With the debugger it looks as if
the position with reference to its border is still unknown. Only after
moving the border item the position (side) is determined correctly....
Kind regards,
Jaap

Hi all,
At last I have fond a solution that rotates my bordered triangle (always
pointing inwards in a container) as well as being initialized properly when
opening the diagram. In my first attempt I used
MyTriangleEditPart.refreshBounds() to manipulate the orientation. Although
it works when dragging the triangle around the container, it does not get
initialized properly as the refreshBounds of the bordered item is called
when the layout of the parent has not been done yet.
The seemingly elegant solution is to hook into the layout of the border item
container, i.e. the parent of my bordered triangle figure. The code I have
used follows below:
/* (non-Javadoc)
* @see
org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.diagram.ui.editparts.GraphicalEditPa rt#activate()
*/
@Override
public void activate() {
IBorderItemLocator locator = getBorderItemLocator();
if (locator instanceof BorderItemLocator) {
((BorderItemLocator)locator).setBorderItemOffset(new Dimension(8,
8));
}
IFigure figure = getFigure();
if (figure instanceof BorderedNodeFigure) {
BorderedNodeFigure bnf = (BorderedNodeFigure)figure;
IFigure bicf = bnf.getBorderItemContainer();
bicf.addLayoutListener(new LayoutListener.Stub() {
@Override
public void postLayout(IFigure container) {
getBorderItemLocator().relocate(getFigure());
int position =
getBorderItemLocator().getCurrentSideOfParent();
int rotation = 0;
switch (position) {
case PositionConstants.WEST:
break;
case PositionConstants.NORTH:
rotation = 90;
break;
case PositionConstants.EAST:
rotation = 180;
break;
case PositionConstants.SOUTH:
rotation = 270;
break;
default:
break;
}
getPrimaryShape().setRotationInDegrees(rotation);
}
});
}
super.activate();
}
The setRotationInDegrees is a method in my custom RotableScalablePolygon
which is actually a copy of the implementation of the inner figure generated
by GMF when using a scalable polygon as figure.
Kind Regards,
Jaap

Hi Jaap,
Can you please Help me,
I Have the same problem, but I can't understand your solution:
1) Can you, give me the code of the method setRotationInDegrees and in which class is placed?
2)In which class exactly is placed the following code ?
* (non-Javadoc)
* @see
org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.diagram.ui.editparts.GraphicalEditPa rt#activate()
*/
@Override
public void activate() {
IBorderItemLocator locator = getBorderItemLocator();
if (locator instanceof BorderItemLocator) {
.......
Thanks.
Rahma
