Abstract

The Graphical Editor Framework (GEF) is a popular framework built to develop rich graphical editor for models. But being lack of detailed documentation, it is difficult to use GEF in practice. In this paper, the principle, composition and main classes (interfaces) of GEF were analyzed. The three levels of abstract mechanisms of GEF were studied. The implementing techniques for GEF based graphical editors were analyzed. And the implementation of a graphical editor instance was described. The study is helpful to implement GEF-based graphical editor.
