I am having an issue with setting up a Roassal layout. I guess that to make force based layouts work, I have to add the line

view edges do: [ :e | e trachelShape pushBack ].

This has the effect of moving the edges back in the view. Nodes will therefore appear in front of the edges.

You do not need edges actually for the force based layout. Consider this example:

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

| v es |
v := RTView new.
es := (RTEllipse new size: 20; color: (Color blue alpha: 0.4)) elementsOn: (1 to: 30).
v addAll: es.
RTForceBasedLayout on: es.
v

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

However when I do this, there is a MNU in TRCompositeShape>>pushback, because the canvas instvar is nil. I am doing what is essentially the following code:

“in a loop, adding to an edges collection”
edges add: (((RTEdge from: efrom to: eto) + (RTLine new color: color) + (RTArrow new color: color)) @ (RTLabelled new text: trans name; color: color; view: view)).

“later"

“adding the edges to the view all at once and do layout magic"
view addAll: edges.
view edges do: [ :e | e trachelShape pushBack ]. “<— MNU”

What should I do to fix this?

You’ve found a bug in TRCompositeShape. I’ve just fixed it

Cheers,

Alexandre
