cell is Swimlane

Question

In mxEditor you can set the attribute swimlaneRequired, to check that new cells only be inserted into an existing swimlane.

What is the criteria used by the editor to check if a cell is a swimlane, could I overload this criteria ??

Answer 1

The mxEditor uses graph.isSwimlane(vertex) to check if a cell is a swimlane. This method checks the cell to make sure the parent is not the root and the cell is not an edge, and then returns true if the cell's current style (obtained from the cell's state) has a value for mxConstants.STYLE_SHAPE set to mxConstants.SHAPE_SWIMLANE. You can override this method globally by overriding the mxGraph.prototype.isSwimlane definition, or you can do it for your specific instance of an editor like this:

editor.graph.isSwimlane = function (cell)
{
    // do some checking here and return true/false

    // the original method can also be called like this:
    return mxGraph.prototype.isSwimlane.apply(this, arguments);
};
