| <p>The GMF Runtime is an industry proven application framework for creating graphical editors using EMF and GEF.</p> |
| <p>The GMF Runtime provides many features that one would have to code by hand if using EMF and GMF directly.</p> |
| <p><ul> |
| <li>A set of reusable components for graphical editors, such as printing, image export, actions and toolbars and much more.</li> |
| <li>A standardized model to describe diagram elements, which separates between the semantic (domain) and notation (diagram) elements.</li> |
| <li>A command infrastructure that bridges the different command frameworks used by EMF and GEF.</li> |
| <li>An extensible framework that allows graphical editors to be open and extendible.</li> |
| </ul></p> |
