GEF/GEF4/DOT
Note to non-wiki readers: This documentation is generated from the Eclipse wiki - if you have corrections or additions it would be awesome if you added them in the original wiki page.
Introduction
The GEF4 DOT component provides support for Graphviz DOT, in terms of
- an Xtext-based .dot file editor
- support for Graphviz-based generation of PDF-output for .dot files
- a GEF4 Zest-based DOT Graph Viewer
- API to import/export DOT to/from GEF4 Graph representations (which can be visualized with GEF4 Zest)
It is internally decomposed into two modules, namely DOT and DOT.UI. There are also a couple of undeployed DOT Examples that demonstrate usage of the (still internal) API. The user documentation is provided in terms of the GEF4 DOT User Guide.
DOT
- feature: org.eclipse.gef4.dot
- bundle: org.eclipse.gef4.dot
The DOT module of GEF4 DOT realizes the serializer and parser for the DOT editor as well as the importer/exporter for the DOT Graph view and Graphviz export sync end-user features, as outlined in the GEF4 DOT User Guide. It does not provide any public API.
DOT.UI
- feature: org.eclipse.gef4.dot.ui
- bundle: org.eclipse.gef4.dot.ui
The DOT.UI module of GEF4 DOT realizes the DOT editor as well as the DOT Graph viewer as end-user features, as outlined in the GEF4 DOT User Guide. It does not provide any public API.
