Class FreeformGraphicalRootEditPart

      extended by

org.eclipse.gef.editparts.AbstractGraphicalEditPart
          extended by

              extended by
org.eclipse.gef.editparts.FreeformGraphicalRootEditPart
All Implemented Interfaces:
EditPart, GraphicalEditPart, LayerConstants, LayerManager, RequestConstants, RootEditPart
Direct Known Subclasses:
ScalableFreeformRootEditPart

public class FreeformGraphicalRootEditPart
extends SimpleRootEditPart
implements LayerConstants, LayerManager

A graphical root that uses FreeformFigures as the layers in the diagram. The contents editpart must provide a FreeformFigure as its figure. Freeform figures are special because they can expand in any direction. This allows the user to drag objects or bendpoints into the negative X and Y coordinates of a diagram. If this feature is not being used, clients should use the FreeformGraphicalRootEditPart as their viewer's root editpart.

IMPORTANT: The contents editpart that is added to a freeform root should have a FreeformFigure (such as FreeformLayer) as its Figure. The primary layer is not using a draw2d LayoutManager, and will not size the contents' figure properly unless it is a freeform figure.

IMPORTANT:The freeform root uses a FreeformViewport as its primary figure. This class must be used with the ScrollingGraphicalViewer. The viewport gets installed into that viewer's FigureCanvas, which provides native scrollbars for scrolling the viewport.

This root serves as the diagram's LayerManager, providing the following layer structure, in top-to-bottom order:
Root Freeform Layered Pane
 Feedback Layer
 Handle Layer
 Printable Layers
  ├ Connection Layer
  └ Primary Layer

Constructor Detail

FreeformGraphicalRootEditPart

public FreeformGraphicalRootEditPart()
Method Detail

createFigure

protected 
IFigure createFigure()
Description copied from class: SimpleRootEditPart
The default root figure is a figure with a stack layout.

Overrides:
createFigure in class SimpleRootEditPart
See Also:
AbstractGraphicalEditPart.createFigure()

createGridLayer

protected 
GridLayer createGridLayer()
Creates a grid. Sub-classes can override this method to customize the appearance of the grid. The grid layer should be the first layer (i.e., beneath the primary layer) if it is not to cover up parts on the primary layer. In that case, the primary layer should be transparent so that the grid is visible.

Returns:
the newly created GridLayer

createLayers

protected void createLayers(
LayeredPane layeredPane)
Creates the top-most set of layers on the given layered pane.

Parameters:
layeredPane - the parent for the created layers

createPrintableLayers

protected 
LayeredPane createPrintableLayers()
Creates a layered pane and the layers that should be printed.

Returns:
a new LayeredPane containing the printable layers
See Also:
PrintGraphicalViewerOperation

getAdapter

public java.lang.Object getAdapter(java.lang.Class adapter)
Description copied from class: AbstractGraphicalEditPart
Extends AbstractEditPart.getAdapter(Class) to handle additional adapter types. Currently, these types include AccessibleHandleProvider and AccessibleAnchorProvider. Subclasses should extend this method to support additional adapter types, or to replace the default provided adapaters.

Overrides:
getAdapter in class AbstractGraphicalEditPart
See Also:
org.eclipse.core.runtime.IAdaptable#getAdapter(java.lang.Class)

getContentPane

public 
IFigure getContentPane()
The contents' Figure will be added to the PRIMARY_LAYER.

Specified by:
getContentPane in interface GraphicalEditPart
Overrides:
getContentPane in class AbstractGraphicalEditPart
See Also:
GraphicalEditPart.getContentPane()

getDragTracker

public 
DragTracker getDragTracker(
Request req)
Should not be called, but returns a MarqeeDragTracker for good measure.

Specified by:
getDragTracker in interface EditPart
Overrides:
getDragTracker in class AbstractGraphicalEditPart
See Also:
EditPart.getDragTracker(org.eclipse.gef.Request)

getLayer

public 
IFigure getLayer(java.lang.Object key)
Returns the layer indicated by the key. Searches all layered panes.

Specified by:
getLayer in interface LayerManager
Overrides:
getLayer in class AbstractGraphicalEditPart
Parameters:
key - ID of the Layer
Returns:
The requested layer or null if it doesn't exist
See Also:
LayerManager.getLayer(Object)

getModel

public java.lang.Object getModel()
The root editpart does not have a real model. The LayerManager ID is returned so that this editpart gets registered using that key.

Specified by:
getModel in interface EditPart
Overrides:
getModel in class AbstractEditPart
See Also:
EditPart.getModel()

getPrintableLayers

protected 
LayeredPane getPrintableLayers()
Returns the LayeredPane that should be used during printing. This layer will be identified using LayerConstants.PRINTABLE_LAYERS.

Returns:
the layered pane containing all printable content

refreshGridLayer

protected void refreshGridLayer()
Updates the grid based on properties set on the graphical viewer: SnapToGrid.PROPERTY_GRID_VISIBLE, SnapToGrid.PROPERTY_GRID_SPACING, and SnapToGrid.PROPERTY_GRID_ORIGIN.

This method is invoked initially when the GridLayer is created, and when any of the above-mentioned properties are changed on the viewer.


register

protected void register()
Description copied from class: AbstractEditPart
Registers itself in the viewer's various registries. If your EditPart has a 1-to-1 relationship with a visual object and a 1-to-1 relationship with a model object, the default implementation should be sufficent.

Overrides:
register in class AbstractEditPart
See Also:
AbstractEditPart.register()

unregister

protected void unregister()
Description copied from class: AbstractEditPart
Undoes any registration performed by AbstractEditPart.register(). The provided base classes will correctly unregister their visuals.

Overrides:
unregister in class AbstractEditPart
See Also:
AbstractEditPart.unregister()
