I am using GraphViewer with SpaceTreeLayoutAlgorithm and trying to update node labels / icons after creating a graph.
Already tested options
viewer.refresh(node, true);
and
viewer.refresh(viewer.getGraphModelNode(node), true);
in combination with various methods of updating / redrawing the viewer or graph management tool, but without success.
Additional information about using the viewer:
GraphViewer viewer = new GraphViewer(parent, SWT.BORDER);
ArrayContentProvider content = new MyArrayContentProvider(..);
viewer.setContentProvider(content);
LabelProvider glp = new MyGraphLabelProvider(..);
viewer.setLabelProvider(glp);
List<MyNodeClass> nodes = ..
viewer.setInput(nodes);
TriangleSubgraphFactory subGraphFactory = new TriangleSubgraphFactory();
SpaceTreeLayoutAlgorithm spaceTreeAlg = new SpaceTreeLayoutAlgorithm();
viewer.getGraphControl().setSubgraphFactory(subGraphFactory);
viewer.getGraphControl().setExpandCollapseManager(
spaceTreeAlg.getExpandCollapseManager());
viewer.setLayoutAlgorithm(spaceTreeAlg, true);
The code works as expected, with the exception of the ones updated above.
I think that maybe I'm doing something wrong, since calling viewer.setInput (..), as Fabian recommended, is causing errors. I also cannot use SpaceTreeLayoutAlgorithm (int direction) with any direction other than TOP_DOWN, otherwise I get NPE.
A call to viewer.setInput later calls the following:

The following steps are for updating, but it may not be for use:
GraphLabelProvider glp
GraphNode n = viewer.getGraphModelNode(node);
n.setText(glp.getText(node));
n.setImage(glp.getImage(node));
