| Re: [gef-dev] how to create view for model...some code will be appreciated |
Hi Gunjan, using a new technology is always a little bit frustrating because of the need for big amount information in short time. As I see you know the three pillars of GEF Model View Controller or in GEF MFE for Model Figure EditPart. You say you got the model, i.e. Person with bounded properties. All you need is the Figure and the EditPart. Your Figure must implement IFigure, in this Figure you can do some drawing which represents your Person. The EditPart connects Figure and Model, the EditPart is the only one who knows about the other two (model and figure). After you created a figure for your person, maybe PersonFigure you need to create the corresponding EditPart, maybe PersonEditPart. This class maybe named PersonEditPart must inherit from AbstractGraphicalEditPart, implement the methods and override the method createFigure(). In this method you create your Figure ... instance your PersonFigure and return it. Further you need to override the refreshVisuals() method. In this method you have to do your positioning via setting the layout constraint setLayoutConstraint(EditPart, IFigure, bounds) notify the model about changes. But thats not all! To get your application working you need a Factory class which maps the model to the corresponding EditPart. For some really helpful and good documentation take a look here: http://www.eclipse.org/gef/reference/articles.html?cvsroot=Tools_Project Check out the documentation there and you will get an working GEF application! For further misunderstandings contact me or this mail list. best regards Andreas Am Montag, 14. März 2005 15:59 schrieb GUNJAN SINGH: > Hi!
