            <description>
        		ListWidget and ListItemWidget are not in final shape and are deprecated. Therefore they have been moved out from the public-API packages.
                Now they are copied in the org.netbeans.modules.visual.experimental.widget.general package.
                The original classes are still deprecated and going to be removed for 6.0 Milestone 9.
                Note that if you want to use the experimental widgets (outside of the public-API packages), you have to set an implementation dependency
                on org.netbeans.api.visual module. Please, do not use implemementation dependency for anything except this.

                Now ImageWidget uses ImageObserver to track changes and animations of image.

                LabelWidget now has useGlyphVector property. If true then the text in a LabelWidget is converted into glyph-vector (a shape)
		that is rendered. This allows accurate rendering independently on zoom-factor of a scene.
                Note that the glyph-vector rendering is slower than regular rendering.

                A bird view can be created using Scene.createBirdView method. To enable bird view you need to call the BirdViewController.show method on returned controller instance.

                There are certain graphs which demand that the hierarchical layout 
                be inverted (target above source). One such graph would be a UML 
                class diagram. For this reason I propose adding a static call to 
                the GraphLayoutFactory to allow for an "inverted" flag to be provided. 
                The default behavior sets inverted to false.
                
                Another call to be added the the GraphLayoutFactory would include 
                "inverted", "horizontal spacing", and "layer spacing" (vertical). 
                The default all remain the same.

                The old layout was improved in a way that nodes in a subtree are vertically aligned by the center of the super nodes. Also the possibility of overlapping in the old layout was removed by adding an approach based on the envelope of the (sub)trees.
                The second improvement was done by adding the possibility of minimizing the gaps between nodes. If a tree was very wide, the old layout used a lot of space. To prevent this the new algorithm with the possibility of minimization of gaps is based on the envelope. Therefore subtrees move as close together as possible.

                <code>getLookup()</code>.

                Built-in pan action is using button from <code>Scene.getInputBindings().getPanActionButton()</code> method.
		Default value remains <code>MouseEvent.BUTTON2</code>, i.e. mouse wheel, which is compatible with the previous
                implementation.
