Diagram Layout function from Java

[Clemo]

Hi,

Is there anyway of calling the diagram layout menu function from the Java API?

Thanks

No. Only a subset of the automation interface has been implemented in the Java API; from memory its also missing the DocumentGenerator classes....

The "Automatic" diagram layout type can be performed via automation by calling LayoutDiagramEx on the Project class.  See:
http://www.sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/10/automation_and_scripting/project_2.html
 
This function is equivalent to the "Diagram | Layout Diagram" menu command in the EA user interface.  See:
http://www.sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/10/modeling_basics/layoutadiagram.html
 

Code: [Select]

repository.GetProjectInterface().LayoutDiagramEx(diagram.GetDiagramGUID(), 0, 4, 20, 20, false);
Unfortunately it is not possible to call any of the diagram layout algorithms provided by the "Layout Tools" window in EA via automation at this time (E.g. Circle/Ellipse, Box, Per Page, Digraph, Spring).

Fantastic that is exactly what I wanted.

Thanks

I was meaning InsertText in VB. It works adding a chr(13) in the string.

Re comments on previous post "Unfortunately it is not possible to call any of the diagram layout algorithms provided by the "Layout Tools" window in EA via automation at this time (E.g. Circle/Ellipse, Box, Per Page, Digraph, Spring). "

Don't suppose this has changed with latest release ? I'd love to be able to apply "Circle" layout automatically ??

Jon.

No changes as far as I am aware.
