org.eclipse.gef
Interface GraphicalEditPart

All Superinterfaces:
EditPart
All Known Subinterfaces:
ConnectionEditPart, NodeEditPart
All Known Implementing Classes:
AbstractConnectionEditPart, AbstractGraphicalEditPart

public interface GraphicalEditPart
extends EditPart

A Specialization of EditPart for use with GraphicalViewers. The visual part of a GraphicalEditPart is a Figure.

IMPORTANT: This interface is not intended to be implemented by clients. Clients should inherit from AbstractGraphicalEditPart. New methods may be added in the future.


Field Summary

Method Summary
 void addNodeListener ( NodeListener listener)
          Adds a NodeListener to the EditPart.
  IFigure getContentPane ()
          The Figure into which childrens' Figures will be added.
  IFigure getFigure ()
          Returns the primary Figure representing this GraphicalEditPart.
 java.util.List getSourceConnections ()
          Returns the source connections for this GraphicalEditPart.
 java.util.List getTargetConnections ()
          Returns the target connections for this GraphicalEditPart.
 void removeNodeListener ( NodeListener listener)
          Removes the first occurance of the specified listener from the list of listeners.
 void setLayoutConstraint ( EditPart child, IFigure figure, java.lang.Object constraint)
          Sets the specified constraint for a child's Figure on the content pane figure for this GraphicalEditPart.

Method Detail

addNodeListener

public void addNodeListener(
NodeListener listener)
Adds a NodeListener to the EditPart. Duplicate calls result in duplicate notification.

Parameters:
listener - the Listener

getFigure

public 
IFigure getFigure()
Returns the primary Figure representing this GraphicalEditPart. The parent will add this Figure to its content pane. The Figure may be a composition of several Figures.

Returns:
this EditPart's Figure

getSourceConnections

public java.util.List getSourceConnections()
Returns the source connections for this GraphicalEditPart. This method should only be called by the EditPart itself, and its helpers such as EditPolicies.

Returns:
the source connections

getTargetConnections

public java.util.List getTargetConnections()
Returns the target connections for this GraphicalEditPart. This method should only be called by the EditPart itself, and its helpers such as EditPolicies.

Returns:
the target connections

getContentPane

public 
IFigure getContentPane()
The Figure into which childrens' Figures will be added. May return the same Figure as getFigure(). The GraphicalEditPart's primary Figure may be composed of multiple figures. This is the figure in that composition that will contain children's figures.

Returns:
the content pane Figure

removeNodeListener

public void removeNodeListener(
NodeListener listener)
Removes the first occurance of the specified listener from the list of listeners. Does nothing if the listener was not present.

Parameters:
listener - the listener being removed

setLayoutConstraint

public void setLayoutConstraint(
EditPart child,
                                
IFigure figure,
                                java.lang.Object constraint)
Sets the specified constraint for a child's Figure on the content pane figure for this GraphicalEditPart. The constraint will be applied to the content pane's LayoutManager. revalidate() is called on the content pane, which will cause it to layout during the next update.

Parameters:
child - the child GraphicalEditPart whose constraint is being set
figure - the Figure whose constraint is being set
constraint - the constraint for the draw2d LayoutManager
