All Known Subinterfaces:
IDiagramBehaviorUI
All Known Implementing Classes:
DiagramBehavior, DiagramBehaviorDummy

public interface IDiagramBehavior
This interface is intended as UI independent base interface for the common behavior object that describes and implements the behavior of diagrams and can be reused within all kinds of diagram containers, e.g. editors, views or plain UI composites.

    • refreshRenderingDecorators

      void refreshRenderingDecorators(PictogramElement pe)

    • executeFeature

      Object executeFeature(IFeature feature, IContext context)
      Executes the given feature in the given context using the command stack and editing domain of the diagram behavior object. In case of an IAddFeature being passed this method will also trigger the selection of the newly added shape.
      Parameters:
      feature - The feature to execute
      context - The context object to use with the feature
      Returns:
      an object representing the result of the feature call (depends on the concrete implementation)
    • getEditingDomain

      org.eclipse.emf.transaction.TransactionalEditingDomain getEditingDomain()
      Gets the transactional editing domain.
      Returns:
      The transactional editing domain which is used in the behavior object
