Re: [epsilon-dev] epsilon-dev Digest, Vol 58, Issue 3

Hi Betty,

This is indeed possible as Alfonso described, however it would be
useful to have at least one example under examples/ that shows how it
can actually be done for custom EMF models. I've added a card to our
Trello board to keep track of this.

Cheers,
Dimitris

However, there are already several other pictoSources available, which directly understand some model extensions, such as .dot, .html or .svg files. If you open a .dot file, it would be visualised right away without needing a .picto file. There are other supported extensions, such as .emf Emfatic files, that still need some extra information at the moment.

So, you could create a custom PictoSource to visualise your .library models without the need of creating a .picto file every time. As an example, that extension point is the one I am using to define .pictodiff files to show the differences between two model files [1].

For example lets say that model instances of a library ecore metamodel ended with the *.library extension and I wanted all of them to be associated with a specific Picto visualisation. As I understand it, we currently need to create a *.library.picto file for each of the model instances. Is this something that Picto could support? Maybe the Picto file could be associated to the ecore metamodel and targeted to instances with a specific extension or conformant with the metamodel.
