R: R: R: R: [gef-dev] How to redraw a Connection
|
I found the problem...
In my Editor every EditPart has its own Appearence. This is an utility class
that manages the EditPart graphical aspect. I need to get an instance of
this class and reflect the change in the model.
Thanks for your help, now all works fine.
Regards,
Alessandro

Hi,
You don't ned to have your own repaint method. I'll try to give you a step
by step account of how can you go ahead and make the changes in the
connection model reflect on to the connection figure (say a polyline
connection)
Make the change in the Model (typically change the model in a Command)
The model method having this change should have its own fire property change
method
now this property change event should be caught in Connection Edit part
In Connection Edit Part depending on the property change do a getFigure and
make whatever view level changes u want to make. Don't do anything else
example
say your model fires a event CHANGE_CONN_COLOR
In your edit part propertyChange method do a
getFigure.setForegroundColor(fg) where "fg" is the changed color
when the property name is CHANGE_CONN_COLOR
Does the above steps work differenly for you?
Thanks,
Siddharth

Thank you so much for your help...I call the superclass repaint
method by
this way: getFigure().repaint()!
Do you think I need to do my own repaint method? What I need to do
in my
repaint method to correctly redraw my PolyLineConnection?
Thanks in advance, this is very important for me :-)

What exactly are you doing in your repaint method which u say is not
getting
updated?
I'll try that stuff for a model change in one of my own
PolyLineConnection
and let you know if I was able to do it successfully but any more
replies
from me only tomorrow now:-)

Thanks Siddharth, all works fine as you say...but not the
last
point.
In refreshVisuals I call getFigure().repaint() (the
TransitionEditPart), but
nothing happens to the view. How can I "update" it?
Sorry, but I tried every method with any result...

Hi,
Well some how i cant comprehend why making the changes in
refreshVisuals is
not working out for you. Try one other way out though I am
not sure
if that
is the best possible way but this would work.
Whenever you make change in the model, make a call to
firePropertyChange(propname, oldValue, newValue) [Here I am
assuming
your
model has a PropertyChangeSupport attached to it]. Now in
your edit
part's
propertyChange method when the designated prop name is
fired,
conditionally
call refreshVisuals and this should work. In refreshVisuals
do a
getFigure
and update whichever view level components u have. It
definitely
works for
me and hope it does for you too.:-)
Thanks,
Siddharth

the PolylineConnection associated to the EditPart,

reflect
in a visual change of the line. I need to force a
redraw of
the
view, but I
don't know how. I tried getFigure().repaint or
getFigure().revalidate(), but
nothing changes.
So, the model is updated, the line associated to the
Edit
Part is
updated,
but the line doesn't change its aspect. I think I
need to
delete/add/refresh
the part but I don't know how!?!?

Hi,
I guess you can try out the following if you haven't
already
given
it a
shot.
In the propertyChange method of transition edit part
depending upon
the
property change call the refreshVisuals method.
Override the
method
refreshVisuals in transition edit part and make
whatever
viewer
level
changes you wish to make, It should work out.
On a very high level you can take a leaf out of how
bendpoints are
reflected
on the UI wherein setting the Routing Constraint in
refresh
Visuals
with the
latest list of bendpoints reflects the newly added/
deleted
bendpoints.
Thanks and Regards,
Siddharth

Hi all,
i'm developing a multipage Editor using GEF.
I have some blocks connected through
standard
Connection
objects, in
particular I have a TransitionEditPart that
extends
AbstractConnectionEditPart.
The TransitionEditPart draws a Polyline
connection
as
follows:
PolylineConnection c = new
PolylineConnection();
setLineAppearence(c);
c.setConnectionRouter(new
ManhattanConnectionRouter());
// Creates a tooltip with the transition ID
tooltip = new Label(" "+host.getID()+" ");
tooltip.setOpaque(true);
c.setToolTip(tooltip);
c.setTargetDecoration(new
PolylineDecoration());
return c;
The problem is that I have 5 types of
transitions
and
everyone has
its own
color and appearence (I set this with the
setLineAppearence
method).
The
TransitionEditPart is associated to a
PropertySheet
that
shows its
type.
When I change the type in the Property View,
I
update the
model and
then
fire a property change event, caught by the
propertyChange
method of
my
TransitionEditPart.
So...the question: how can I force the
Connection to
be
redrawn? I
tried all
the repaint, revalidate, refresh methods,
but the
visual
aspect of
the edit
part never changes according to the the
modified
property. I
think
that a
solution could be to delete the Connection
and then
redraw
it, but
I'm not
able to do that...
Any suggestion?
In general which is the best way to do a
graphical
refresh
of an
Edit Part
after a property change event? My solution
in other
cases
was to
delete/add/refresh the part...
Thanks in advance,
Alessandro
