Hi Chris,

For painting dots grid you can: 1) Use a texture paint that you can use set as a background of your scene. This is fastest implementation but it does not allow to change the grid-size. For details, see a first few lines in: mobility/designer2/flow/src/org/netbeans/modules/vmd/api/flow/visual/FlowScene.java

2) Extend a Scene class you are using and override its paint method and draw your dots there. Be aware that painting an 2d-array dots could be very slow when you have over 1000+ dots drawn on the scene.

Regarding MoveStrategies: Unfortunately I do not have a test for it but here it is how it should work: private int gridWidth = 32; private int gridHeight = 32; WidgetAction moveAction = ActionFactory.createMoveAction (new MoveStrategy () { public Point locationSuggested (Widget widget, Point originalLocation, Point suggestedLocation) { return new Point (suggestedLocation.x - suggestedLocation.x % gridWidth, suggestedLocation.y - suggestedLocation.y % gridHeight); } }, null); myWidget.getActions ().addAction (moveAction); // now the myWidget could be moved on the scene and its position will be snapped to the grid

If you want to, you can look at the "visualweb" code but I think they are not using grid-dots feature (I assume your are talking "web/jsf/navigator" module).
