Can I get the X & Y Coordinates of a named Locator?

[3061]

I need to locate a Figure by name and then click just to the right of it, outside the Figure.

The NamedFigureLocator goes to the center of a Figure, but

Code: Select all

XYLocator(newNamedFigureLocator(givenFigureId))

goes to the top left corner of the Figure.

Code: Select all

NamedFigureLocator locator = new NamedFigureLocator(givenFigureId);
ILocator clickLocation = new XYLocator(locator, xOffset, yOffset);
ui.click(clickLocation);


Is there a way to compute xOffset, i.e. get the Width of the named Figure in a GEF Diagram?
Getting the X and Y coordinates of a named Figure would suffice; I could then compute the width.

Can you get what you need from the figure itself? That is:

Code: Select all

NamedFigureLocator locator = new NamedFigureLocator(givenFigureId);
IFigureReference fr = (IFigureReference)ui.find(locator);
IFigure figure = fr.getFigure();
Rectangle bounds = figure.getBounds();
...

Hope that helps. Either way, let us know!

Works nicely, exactly what I needed. It's hard to find that out by using the WindowTester documentation by the way.
Thanks!

I've opened a ticket to improve our docs to make this easier to discover. Thanks!
