I'm evaluating GetOrgChart for a project which requires some nodes to use the second parent relationship feature. The default line style/path for these second parent relationships it a direct line to the parent node.
Is there a way to change this line style so it matches the "M" or "B" link type styles and goes around other nodes?

In my app, I'm trying to make sure the selected treenode is shown, meaning it is expanded all the way down, and also scrolled into view.
How can I programmatically implement this (meaning all the tree node's parent nodes are expanded, and it's scrolled into view)?
A tree node only has a reference to its children, not its parent, and there's no way I could find to scroll the tree to a node.
I have tried to look for ITreeNode.EnsureVisible method or similar, but in vain.
When I add a position property on a node, it is ignored unless I also specify locked: true. I would like to specify initial positions on some nodes, yet still allow the user to move those nodes around.
Related (I think) - is there a way to let Cytoscape use a layout to determine node positions, then do a second pass and change them for any nodes that have a position property specified? It would also work to have the layout ignore or not process any nodes that have positions specified. That's what currently happens when I have locked set to true, but I'd like for it to happen if I have locked set to false on a node.
Perhaps another solution would be, how can I manually alter the positions after the layout is finished rendering?
Don't run a layout on nodes you don't want moved. Note that you have a layout specified in the init options.
Use preset at init, and make your own explicit cy.layout() and/or eles.layout() calls. (The preset layout acts pretty much like a nop if all you specify is { name: 'preset' }.)
Or keep your existing workflow and just unlock the nodes when the layout is done.
i am new to GWT and GWTP and the question sounds stupid.. Can I make an abstract PresenterWidget or similiar?
Like in normal Java extending the "class" and reuse / extend the logic. But not only the class, the whole thing of View and Presenter. I try to explain my initial situation and maybe you have another idea.
The image hopefully helps to explain it. The "Main-Tab" and every other tab consists of a collection of views which have the same base structure and the same logic.
the base structure consists of
border around EVERYTHING
an image (the wwitch)
a title
a textarea
a PresenterWidget which is added to a contentSlot of the parent (the menu left)
and below the base are view specific components like buttons, text or any other widget. So a main part of the view with logic is repeading. If the switch is "toggled" the view is hidden (the textarea and any childs / view specific components) like the lowest view in the picture. Furthermore the PresenterWidget left changes the color.
The logic is working, but now I am searching a proper way to solve this without repeading code and the possibility to add child elements which are hidden as well by toggling the switch. Can I add to a PresenterWidget child widgets and define where there should be added? like: Even if this is possible, it feels a bit inconvenient.
Thanks in advance.
I just want to post the solution:
I have now a simple Composite (KPICommonView) for the switch, title and the description. It got another FlowPanel below the description, where the specific components will be added later. For this the Composite implements "HasWidgets" and overrides the "add(Widget w)"-method which is called by UiBinder if the Widget is added and has child elements.
<own:KPICommonView title="First Header" description="I am a happy description :)" anchorToken="{nameAnchors.getFirst}">
<g:Label>child component</g:Label>
</own:KPICommonView>
I am not sure if I do a PresenterWidget for every segment and every PresenterWidget has one of the KPICommonView added, or if I do one normal Presenter which adds more than one of the CommonViews.
The CommonView furhter creates the PresenterWidget for the menu item on the side. It gets the attributes from the constructor (anchorToken, title) and adds it to the slot (which happens ugly, because the View has hard coded the parent saved to call "addInSlot()". The repeading code for the switch is handled by the KPICommonView.
Is there a way to specify a layout for children of a PolylineConnection?
I want to add several Labels to a PolylineConnection at ConnectionLocator.MIDDLE without the use of a container figure for the labels.
Both PolylineConnection and Label have EditParts, and the label's model objects are children of the polyline connection's model objects.
Ideally I want to add all label children of a polyline to ConnectionLocator.MIDDLE in a ToolbarLayout...
What you are trying to do is mix two layouts: on the first hand you want to use a ConnectionLocator.MIDDLE to locate the figures, but on the other hand you want to have the figures at this location to have their own layout.
The only solution you have is to create a figure that uses a ToolbarLayout and locate it in the Polyline using the ConnectionLocator
I've found a way to achieve what I wanted:
Very generally, the first child must be added at ConnectionLocator.MIDDLE, and the rest of the children relative to the child before them with the help of RelativeLocator like this (line would be in a loop over all figure children in connection's edit part):
figure.add(childFigure,
new RelativeLocator((IFigure) figureChildren.get(currentIndex - 1),
0.5,
1.7);
I've written a blog post with more details.
Background/Context:
I have a HBox as a parent and many child Nodes (Buttons, TextFields, Labels…). The HBox is a child of other container (BorderPane/VBox/Grid)
My questions:
How do I dynamically remove/exclude the parent (HBox) and all its children from layout?
I am looking for some three-state property on Node (like in Microsoft WPF):
Visible – visible and participate in layout
Collapsed – is not visible and do not participate in layout (applies to its children as well)
Hidden – is not visible but participate in layout

What options does JavaFX offer?
My solutions so far:
hBox.setManaged(false);
this work only for HBox, its children are still present
root.getChildren().remove(hBoxTop);
root.getChildren().add(hBoxTop);
Well, this looks like it could work.., but for example in case of root being BorderPane, once I remove/add and remove the HBox, the space after it remains unused. I already tried requestLayout() but id does not force thr rrot to fill it. Am I missing something? Is it correct approach to this problem?
Edited:
Well, I got this working.
Dynamically removing and adding for this specific case can be achieved by:
Remove:
root.setTop(null);
Add:
root.setTop(hBoxTop);
When I did not call setTop(null) on removal, BorderPane still reserved space for HBox (even after removal from its children).
IMHO: it is not very good model as it is parent-container specific. For example if I change, BorderPane to VBox a I had to change these methods as well. For VBox, remove/add on children collection works but I need to remember index so that HBox appears at same place after calling add.
Using root.setTop(null) is not a good idea because as you say it's specific to BorderPane.
I think the best solution is to use:
root.getChildren().remove(yourPane);
And use layout methods to place your other childrens as you want.
But maybe you should not use a BorderPane in the first place with the behaviors you want in your application.
Notice you can also do root.getChildren().clear() to remove all component and add it again to your layout but differently.
