I understand that Draw2D doesn't provide support for more complex figures like cylinders and that we have to "construct them ourselves". I couldn't find much support for that route online. Is there any way I can construct a custom Figure representing a cylinder. I hope this isn't too broad but could someone please point me in the right direction?
As an alternative to constructing your own cylinder figure geometrically, you can use the GeoShapeCylinderFigure class from the org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.diagram.ui.geoshapes.internal.draw2d.figures package.
