Improve shape menu #55

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Using the shape menu is sometimes a bit tricky. As an enhancement the shape
menu could be improved, for example offering a way to change an edge's type
after the edge was created.

One idea that came up on BPM conference is a fish eye like feature for the shape
menu, because the buttons are to small.

The shape-menu could be inspired by the BizAgi Prozcess Modeler:
http://www.bizagi.com/eng/tours/modeler/

For example: Shapemenu opens on click and remains open until another item is 
clicked.

I personally didn't like BizAgi's chaning of the event types. I feel Oryx' 
solution
more comfortable. - Use-Case: Brain-Dump of a business process model.

However, it should be possible to right-click on a shape and to change it to 
another
shape. (E.g. inclusive gateway to an data-based exclusive gateway at BPMN)

I got a very sensitive mouse. My feeling is that it works fine in all 
applications
but Oryx.
Possible solution: 
 * Make the lines to open the shape menu more thick.
 * The shape selection menu should not close if the mouse pointer moves inside the
area of the offered shapes. Until now, the menu closes, if the mouse pointer is 
not
over a possible successor shape.
