In-Depth Information
If you'd rather have no property sheet for the diagram, simply remove the
Property Sheet
element from the generator model.
Standard Property Tab
GMF comes with standard tabs: Diagram, Advanced, and Appearance. These
display diagram notation information, such as ruler, grid, line color, and type set-
tings.
Custom Property Tab
GMF generates a Core property sheet to display the selected element's domain
properties in the familiar grid view. A child
Typed Selection Filter
is
responsible for controlling which elements the tab displays. Section 4.4.6,
“Properties Revisited,” describes custom property tabs.
11.4.11 Gen Application
When the RCP option is selected when transforming between the mapping and
generator models, a
Gen Application
element is created. This element and its
children provide the information required to generate an RCP-based application.
In this chapter, we took a deeper look into the GMF tooling component. While
there is plenty left for the reader to discover within the models, templates, and
code provided with GMF, this chapter should give you enough to get started
developing your own diagrams. In the next chapter, we cover some of the most
popular FAQs about GMF.
