- ## Damiano presented some capabilities of the tool he is developing
  **Some notes below**
  
  ** [Sprotty](https://github.com/eclipse/sprotty) is just to link metaclasses with SVG **
  So this means that if you want restrict the behaviour of the editor, you need to develop this. Sprotty does not have first class elements for doing this.
  
  ** Co-evolution capabilities of the tool**
  Currently basic cases are supported to automatically evolve models according to operated metamodel changes.
  
  ** Styling elements and add constraints to graphical elements **
- There is a bidirectional relationship between the graphical position of the element and  model attributes.
- It is possible to define rules involving different graphical elements.

- Philip suggested to apply the language to implement sequence diagram or even an editor for [Ladder](https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ladder_diagram).
- The opinion of Philippe is that connecting the editor with [GLSP (eclipse.org)](https://www.eclipse.org/glsp/) would not bring any benefit. It is instead important to link it with the [Model Server API](https://github.com/eclipse-emfcloud/emfcloud-modelserver)  and with the EMF ecosystem.
