Save the Image for each EA-Element from EA-Model

[mabed]

i want to develope a small program for importing all EA-Elements from EA model in my eclipse-plugin.
I developed it successfully over EA.jar but i have a problem. This problem is that i want to save the image from each Class, State Machine or Activity Diagram. I do that so, but i have for all elements the same image, although i send per (child.getElementGUID()) each time another element id!!

Repository rep = new Repository();
String path = ".....//...jpg";
........
........
........
rep.GetProjectInterface().PutDiagramImageToFile(child.getElementGUID(), c, 1);


please advise

The clue appears to be child.getElementGUID().

It should be getDiagramGUID() for a diagram, which implies you aren't iterating over diagrams but elements.

yes i know that i send the Element GUID.

my problem now is how to fetch a Block-Diagram or Class-Diagram. The block over EA.jar is an Element!!
how can ic make screenshot from it?

I don't understand you. A class, (or any other element) doesn't have an image. Only diagrams have images.

If you have a state machine that owns a diagram you could get that diagram.
Diagrams owned by an element are found in EA.Element.Diagrams. Diagrams owned by a package are found in EA.Package.Diagrams.
