Package org.eclipse.graphiti.ui.editor

Interface IDiagramContainerUI

All Superinterfaces:
org.eclipse.core.runtime.IAdaptable, IDiagramContainer
All Known Implementing Classes:
DiagramComposite, DiagramEditor
public interface IDiagramContainerUI extends IDiagramContainer, org.eclipse.core.runtime.IAdaptable
This is the main UI interface for the Graphiti diagram containers. It can be implemented by any class that would like to display a Graphiti diagram. A DiagramContainer takes in a DiagramEditorInput that points to the diagram to display. This input is not technically an IEditorInput, as diagrams may be displayed in non-editor parts. As a temporary workaround for Bugzilla 407510 a class implementing IDiagramContainerUI must additionally implement the methods 'public void configureGraphicalViewer()' and 'public void initializeGraphicalViewer()' that initialize the GEF editor used inside the container. This methods should have been added to the interface, but that was no longer possible because the bug was only detected in a late phase after API freeze. This will be fixed with the 0.11.0 version of Graphiti.

    • getEditDomain

      org.eclipse.gef.DefaultEditDomain getEditDomain()
      Returns the GEF edit domain as needed for some of the feature functionality in Graphiti; simply a public rewrite of the GEF editor super method.
      Returns:
      the DefaultEditDomain used in this editor
      See Also:
      • GraphicalEditor.getEditDomain()

    • setEditDomain

      void setEditDomain(org.eclipse.gef.DefaultEditDomain editDomain)
      Sets the GEF edit domain to the container. Needed for initializing the container from the DiagramBehavior instance.
      Parameters:
      editDomain - The DefaultEditDomain to set
      See Also:
      • GraphicalEditor#setEditDomain()

    • getGraphicalViewer

      org.eclipse.gef.GraphicalViewer getGraphicalViewer()
      Returns the GEF GraphicalViewer as it is needed in some Graphiti feature implementations. This is simply a public rewrite of the according super method.
      Returns:
      the GraphicalViewer used within this editor instance
      See Also:
      • GraphicalEditor.getGraphicalViewer()

    • configureGraphicalViewer

      void configureGraphicalViewer()
      Called to configure the GraphicalViewer of this container, before it receives its content. The default-implementation is for example doing the following: configure the ZoomManager, registering Actions... Here everything is done, which is independent of the IConfigurationProviderInternal.
      Since:
      0.12

    • initializeGraphicalViewer

      void initializeGraphicalViewer()
      Called to initialize the GraphicalViewer of this container with its content. Here everything is done, which is dependent of the IConfigurationProviderInternal.
      Since:
      0.12
      See Also:
      • GraphicalEditorWithFlyoutPalette.initializeGraphicalViewer()

    • getWorkbenchPart

      org.eclipse.ui.IWorkbenchPart getWorkbenchPart()
      Returns the instance of the Eclipse IWorkbenchPart that displays this container. E.g. for an editor this will be the editor itself.
      Returns:
      The IWorkbenchPart that is displaying the diagram.
      Since:
      0.12

    • getSite

      org.eclipse.ui.IWorkbenchPartSite getSite()
      Returns the IWorkbenchPartSite of the Eclipse IWorkbenchPart that displays this container. E.g. for an editor this will be the editor site.
      Returns:
      The site for the IWorkbenchPart that is displaying the diagram.

    • getDiagramEditorInput

      IDiagramEditorInput getDiagramEditorInput()
      Returns the IDiagramEditorInput instance used for this container. Basically it is used as an Eclipse IEditorInput object only in case the container is an editor; for other types of containers the input is simply used as a holder for a URI pointing to a diagram.
      Returns:
      The input containing the URI for the diagram

    • getActionRegistry

      org.eclipse.gef.ui.actions.ActionRegistry getActionRegistry()
      Returns the GEF action registry for the container.
      Returns:
      The ActionRegistry

    • getSelectionActions

      List getSelectionActions()
      Returns the actions used for selection of the parent GEF editor, for an editor based upon the GEF editor this simply returns the standard GEF selection actions by delegating to the super editor class.
      Returns:
      A List containing the selection actions
      See Also:
      • GraphicalEditor.getSelectionActions()

    • commandStackChanged

      void commandStackChanged(EventObject event)
      Notification that the command stack changed. This might e.g. trigger an update of the dirty state of the container.
      Parameters:
      event - An event instance describing what happened
      See Also:
      • GraphicalEditor.commandStackChanged(EventObject event)

    • setGraphicalViewer

      void setGraphicalViewer(org.eclipse.gef.GraphicalViewer viewer)
      Sets the GraphicalViewer to be used inside the container. The viewer is created by the DiagramBehavior instance and needs to be set in the GEF container.
      Parameters:
      viewer - The viewer to use.
      See Also:
      • GraphicalEditor.setGraphicalViewer(GraphicalViewer viewer)

    • hookGraphicalViewer

      void hookGraphicalViewer()
      Hooks the GraphicalViewer to be used inside the container.
      Parameters:
      viewer - The viewer to use.
      See Also:
      • GraphicalEditor#hookGraphicalViewer(GraphicalViewer viewer)

    • getDiagramBehavior

      DiagramBehavior getDiagramBehavior()
      Returns the DiagramBehavior instance associated with this container.
      Specified by:
      getDiagramBehavior in interface IDiagramContainer
      Returns:
      The associated DiagramBehavior instance
