How can I display a GMF diagram, with the file format "*.ecorediag" in Eclipse in a View?
The diagram should not be editable.
Is there a simple sample view that loads a diagram from say "/home/diagrams/test.ecorediag"
The GMF diagrams (including ecorediag) are rendered on the editor with the help of "org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.diagram.ui.parts.DiagramGraphicalViewer".
So the bare minimum code to make this work
DiagramGraphicalViewer viewer = new DiagramGraphicalViewer();
viewer.createControl(composite);
RootEditPart root = EditPartService.getInstance().createRootEditPart(
diagram);
viewer.setRootEditPart(root);
viewer.setEditPartFactory(new EcoreEditPartProvider());
viewer.getControl().setBackground(ColorConstants.listBackground);
viewer.setContents(diagram);

In Enterprise Architect, when I copy and paste elements from A diagram to B diagram,
(from A diagram) <- I want to remove(or hide) this tag which is placed below elements.
How I can do this?
I tried to find this option in menu Start > Preferences but I couldn't find it.
You can control that setting through the diagram properties: Diagram | Appearance | Show Namespace
I have drawn an image in the Obeo Designer. And I can export the image through right-click the image and click the "Export as a Diagram". Now I want to export the diagrams through java code instead of interacting with the Obeo Designer because my program will generate some .aird files during the runtime and I want to turn these .aird files into diagrams in the form of JPG or JPEG automatically. Is there any way to implement the idea?
You could call:
org.eclipse.sirius.ui.business.api.dialect.DialectUIManager.INSTANCE.export(representation,
session, filePath, exportFormat,progressMonitor);
where exportFormat can be for example:
ExportFormat exportFormat = new ExportFormat(ExportDocumentFormat.NONE, ImageFileFormat.PNG);
I have created a custom editor in eclipse plugin which shows a XML in Tree-Table(TreeViewer) format with couple of its attributes. For showing remaining attributes I am trying to tie it up with "Properties View", but not really able to make progress on it.
I went through similar question on SO like
How to handle property sheet from customized editor in eclipse plugin development? where it talk about make your viewer contribute to workbench selection and implementing an IPropertySource on object which is selected in editor.
In my case I am directly setting an document object in treeviewer input like below.
IFileEditorInput editorInput = (IFileEditorInput) getEditorInput();
IFile inputIFile = editorInput.getFile();
File f = new File(inputIFile.getLocation().toString());
try {
doc = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().newDocumentBuilder().parse(f);
}
catch (SAXException | IOException | ParserConfigurationException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
//setting root element of doc as input
treeViewer.setInput(doc.getDocumentElement());
Now on what object should I implement an IPropertySource interface to contribute properties?
Let me know if I am going in right direction or missing something or doing it completely wrong.
Hope this make sense !!
When your selection provider fires a selection changed event the properties page will look at the new selection. If you are using a tree viewer as the provider the selection will be the current object from your tree content provider.
The properties view will try to get an IPropertySourceProvider from the selection. Your object can implement IPropertySourceProvider directly, or provide it view the IAdaptable interface or by using IAdapterFactory.
Once the view has the IPropertySourceProvier it will call the getPropertySource method. Your code must return an IPropertySource object - it is up to you to write this class.
I followed the file system example http://gmfsamples.tuxfamily.org/wiki/doku.php?id=gmf_tutorial1
what I wanted to do is not using the generated editor with its palette.
I created a new plugin with one view and I wanted to create a diagram programatically inside this view to show for instance 2 objects connected with link
I came across this answer GMF display diagram example
but it didn't help me a lot.
in createPartControl of my view I did
#Override
public void createPartControl(Composite parent) {
DiagramGraphicalViewer viewer = new DiagramGraphicalViewer();
viewer.createControl(parent);
RootEditPart root = EditPartService.getInstance().createRootEditPart(diagram);
viewer.setRootEditPart(root);
viewer.setEditPartFactory(new EcoreEditPartProvider());
viewer.getControl().setBackground(ColorConstants.listBackground);
viewer.setContents(diagram);
}
as in the answer but I didn't know how to get that "diagram" variable
The easiest would be use the same GraphicalViewer for your view and the same diagram as well. Just get your DiagramEditPart from the viewer and call disableEditMode() on it. (Do the appropriate type casting if necessary).
I have to create a table in my wizard page and I want to create it using TableViewer. I'm using WindowBuilderPro for designing my wizard page. The TableViewer control is available in the palette of WindowBuilderPro but I'm not getting how to use it properly.
Has any body used the same?
Thanks a lot in advance!!
You have two ways of filling the TableViewer with contents (similar to TableViewers in JFace):
You can define a content provider and a label provider manually. A content provider has to return a set of Objects, that represent each line of the table; while the TableLabelProvider translates the returned objects to texts in the columns. The content and label providers are to set in the Properties box on the left. In this case, the resulting code should look like the following snippets: http://wiki.eclipse.org/JFaceSnippets#Snippet001TableViewer or http://wiki.eclipse.org/JFaceSnippets#Snippet007FullSelection.
On the other hand you could define JFace Data Bindings to fill the table with contents. In this case you have to define a corresponding binding, that returns the list of all contents; additionally you have to create a label provider, that works similar to the previous one.
There is also a way to fill the table content using a newer API then supported directly by WindowBuilder: you could create TableViewerColumns, and ColumnLabelProviders for each column, thus resulting in much nicer code for Label Providers (and also this API is newer, so it should be preferred for new JFace based code) - but in this case you have to create your code manually. See the JFace Table tutorial from Lars Vogel.
Additionally, if you don't know the JFace Viewer framework from before, I suggest reading the first few questions listed in the JFace FAQ to gain a better understanding of the ideas (and the tutorial from Lars Vogel is also nice for this reason).
