Description Brian Fitzpatrick

Though the Graphiti integration for Sapphire is just getting started, I have begun to experiment with it a bit.

What I'm hoping to be able to do is a Russian-doll kind of implementation where you have different components contained by different layers. Similar to this image where you see the labeled box containing a flow of items:

More like this diagram for the Eclipse SCA editor, which I'd like to do something similar to:

The containment hierarchy, labels in different places, and so on would be necessary for this type of approach. And obviously you're not there yet, but I'd like to shoot for this functionality if at all possible. :)

Shenxue,

Let's see if this fits into 0.3 or at least spend some time thinking about how it could be supported in the future.

Can we constrain this feature to only support connections at the same diagram level? That is, no connections that cross the node envelope?

I almost think you'd have to. The issue is can you display the full diagram but have the palette shift based on the context of what's selected?

Moving this to the 0.4 release.

Bulk deferral of diagram-related items to the 0.5 release.
