Description Ian Bull CLA 2007-12-14 15:14:54 EST 
When using a layout filter, it is important to get the GraphNode or GraphConnection, however, in Zest the actual layout node / arc are anonymous inner classes.  We need to expose a way to get the node / connection in the filter.
Comment 1 Ian Bull CLA 2008-01-11 20:46:16 EST 
Inside a layoutFilter you can now say item.getGraphData to get the actual graphnode or graphconnection.

See GraphSnippet8 for an example of this.
Comment 2 Michelle Tadmor CLA 2008-04-01 11:59:08 EDT 
the data should be exposed from InternalNode aswell (just by implementing getGraphData() which currently just returns "null". 
currently when implementing a custom layout algorith the actual data is hidden.

Reopening to investigate
