<h2><span lang=EN-GB>Enhancing the Tool Behavior Provider</span></h2>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='color:black'>&nbsp;</span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB style='color:black'>It is possible to draw
so called “rendering decorators” on top of active pictogram elements. These
rendering decorators </span><span lang=EN-US>are transiently determined and not
persisted in the diagram.</span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>A typical use case is the rendering of
error-markers on top of incorrect pictogram elements.</span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB style='color:black'>&nbsp;</span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB style='color:black'>The rendering
decorators are defined in the tool behavior provider.</span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB style='color:black'>If you didn’t do so
already you must <b>first create a tool behavior provider and add it to the diagram
type provider as described <a href="tool-behavior-provider.htm">here</a>.</b></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB style='color:black'>There is one method of
the tool behavior provider to overwrite: </span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB style='color:black'>The method <a
href="../../../javadoc/org/eclipse/graphiti/tb/IToolBehaviorProvider.html#getDecorators(org.eclipse.graphiti.mm.pictograms.PictogramElement)">getDecorators</a>
has to return the rendering decorators for the given pictogram element. A
rendering decorator must implement the interface <a
href="../../../javadoc/org/eclipse/graphiti/tb/IDecorator.html">IDecorator</a>
and may also implement <a
href="../../../javadoc/org/eclipse/graphiti/datatypes/ILocation.html">ILocation</a>,
which provides the decorator location relative to the pictogram element.</span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB style='color:black'>Currently only the <a
href="../../../javadoc/org/eclipse/graphiti/tb/ImageDecorator.html">ImageDecorator</a>
is supported, which renders an image at the defined location and can show a
text message as tooltip.</span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>&nbsp;</span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB style='color:black'>In this example we want
to show an image decorator for a EClass, whenever the class name does not start
