Description Vincent Lorenzo CLA 2010-06-21 06:23:18 EDT 
The figures should have something like the PortLocator, to know on which side is an anchor.
Currently, the method org.eclipse.diagram.common.layout.LayoutUtils.getAnchorPosition(EditPart node, Point anchor) does this work, for :
 - the rectangular figures like classifiers, DurationObservation,..., 
 - the Package figures
 - the IOvalAnchorableFigure
 This method is used for the distribution action and the routing action.
 
Currently, some figures are not managed, that why it should be interesting add an interface for each figure (or editpart, I don't know).
This interface will provide the method getAnchorPosition().

The goal of this enhancement is to provide this method for each figure (links and nodes), and remove the method from the LayoutUtils.
