Adding Package/Diag. Frame to Diagram via Java

[jpjp]

Hi,

I'm using Java and EA to automatically show dependencies in a large scale application (All dependencies already calculated, only need to display result).

I want to be able to add Packages, Diagrams or Diagram Frames to an existing Diagram via Java. At the moment I can add Elements to the Diagrams, but when trying to add a Package or Diagram, I get nothing, and I'm not sure if it's possible (or even less so than Package) to add a Diagram Frame.

The code i'm using is more or less the same as the example:

Code: [Select]

 
public static void addDiagramTo...(Diagram diagram, ... toAdd) {
        Collection<DiagramObject> diagramObjects = diagram.GetDiagramObjects();
        DiagramObject diag = diagramObjects.AddNew("", "");
        diag.Set...ID( toAdd...ID() );
        diag.Update();
        System.out.println( "Added ... '" + toAdd.GetName()
                + "' to diagram '" + diagram.GetName() + "'");
        
    }
PS the '...' in the code in just in place of Package or Diagram etc..

Does anyone know a solution to this problem? Or a workaround?

Thanks in advance,
Jack

Jack,

I think I remember some code samples regarding diagram frames.
Try searching this forum using the top left search button.

Ahh..

You're right..

I searched in the Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools forum but found nothing so asked here.

Answer was in General!  

Thanks for replying,

Slightly hasty on my reply, but if anyone else if interested in the code in the future it can be found here:

That does answer part of my question - I can now add Packages to the Diagrams.
I haven't had much luck with finding any information on adding Diagram Frames however.
I'm not sure if this is possible within the framework ..?

Any info is appreciated.

Thanks,
Jack

Diagram frames are dedicated elements linked to diagrams. I haven't added that to my Scripting book but will do that soon.

So you'll need to add an element of type UMLDiagram to a package with the diagramID for the referenced diagram in Pdata1 (miscdata(0)), and then add a diagramObject referencing this object.

I'm not sure anymore whether you can edit the miscdata. You might need to fix that with a direct SQL update.

Ah, I see.
Thanks for your help, and quick responses!
I'll have a go.

Thanks again,
