=head1 NAME

Graph::Easy::Node - Represents a node in a Graph::Easy graph

=head1 SYNOPSIS

        use Graph::Easy::Node;

	my $bonn = Graph::Easy::Node->new('Bonn');

	$bonn->set_attribute('border', 'solid 1px black');

	my $berlin = Graph::Easy::Node->new( name => 'Berlin' );

=head1 DESCRIPTION

A C<Graph::Easy::Node> represents a node in a simple graph. Each
node has contents (a text, an image or another graph), and dimension plus
an origin. The origin is typically determined by a graph layouter module
like L<Graph::Easy>.

=head1 METHODS

Apart from the methods of the base class L<Graph::Easy::Base>, a
C<Graph::Easy::Node> has the following methods:

=head2 new()

        my $node = Graph::Easy::Node->new( name => 'node name' );
        my $node = Graph::Easy::Node->new( 'node name' );

Creates a new node. If you want to add the node to a Graph::Easy object,
then please use the following to create the node object:

	my $node = $graph->add_node('Node name');

You can then use C<< $node->set_attribute(); >>
or C<< $node->set_attributes(); >> to set the new Node's attributes.

=head2 as_ascii()

	my $ascii = $node->as_ascii();

Return the node as a little box drawn in ASCII art as a string.

=head2 as_txt()

	my $txt = $node->as_txt();

Return the node in simple txt format, including attributes.

=head2 as_svg()

	my $svg = $node->as_svg();

Returns the node as Scalable Vector Graphic. The actual code for
that routine is defined L<Graph::Easy::As_svg.pm>.

=head2 as_graphviz()

B<For internal use> mostly - use at your own risk.

	my $txt = $node->as_graphviz();

Returns the node as graphviz compatible text which can be fed
to dot etc to create images.

One needs to load L<Graph::Easy::As_graphviz> first before this method
can be called.


=head2 as_graphviz_txt()

B<For internal use> mostly - use at your own risk.

	my $txt = $node->as_graphviz_txt();

Return only the node itself (without attributes) as a graphviz representation.

One needs to load L<Graph::Easy::As_graphviz> first before this method
can be called.


=head2 as_pure_txt()

	my $txt = $node->as_pure_txt();

Return the node in simple txt format, without the attributes.

	my $html = $node->as_html();

Return the node as HTML code.

=head2 attribute(), get_attribute()

	$node->attribute('border-style');

Returns the respective attribute of the node or undef if it
was not set. If there is a default attribute for all nodes
of the specific class the node is in, then this will be returned.

=head2 get_attributes()

        my $att = $object->get_attributes();

Return all effective attributes on this object (graph/node/group/edge) as
an anonymous hash ref. This respects inheritance and default values.

Note that this does not include custom attributes.

See also L<get_custom_attributes> and L<raw_attributes()>.

=head2 get_custom_attributes()

	my $att = $object->get_custom_attributes();

Return all the custom attributes on this object (graph/node/group/edge) as
an anonymous hash ref.

=head2 custom_attributes()

    my $att = $object->custom_attributes();

C<< custom_attributes() >> is an alias for L<< get_custom_attributes >>.

=head2 raw_attributes()

        my $att = $object->get_attributes();

Return all set attributes on this object (graph/node/group/edge) as
an anonymous hash ref. This respects inheritance, but does not include
default values for unset attributes.

See also L<get_attributes()>.

=head2 default_attribute()

	my $def = $graph->default_attribute($class, 'fill');

Returns the default value for the given attribute B<in the class>
of the object.

The default attribute is the value that will be used if
the attribute on the object itself, as well as the attribute
on the class is unset.

To find out what attribute is on the class, use the three-arg form
of L<attribute> on the graph:

	my $g = Graph::Easy->new();
	my $node = $g->add_node('Berlin');

	print $node->attribute('fill'), "\n";		# print "white"
	print $node->default_attribute('fill'), "\n";	# print "white"
	print $g->attribute('node','fill'), "\n";	# print "white"

	$g->set_attribute('node','fill','red');		# class is "red"
	$node->set_attribute('fill','green');		# this object is "green"

	print $node->attribute('fill'), "\n";		# print "green"
	print $node->default_attribute('fill'), "\n";	# print "white"
	print $g->attribute('node','fill'), "\n";	# print "red"

See also L<raw_attribute()>.

=head2 attributes_as_txt

	my $txt = $node->attributes_as_txt();

Return the attributes of this node as text description. This is used
by the C<< $graph->as_txt() >> code and there should be no reason
to use this function on your own.

=head2 set_attribute()

	$node->set_attribute('border-style', 'none');

Sets the specified attribute of this (and only this!) node to the
specified value.

=head2 del_attribute()

(and only this!) node.

Assembles the C<border-width>, C<border-color> and C<border-style> attributes
into a string like "solid 1px red".

=head2 color_attribute()

	# returns f.i. #ff0000
	my $color = $node->get_color_attribute( 'fill' );

Just like get_attribute(), but only for colors, and returns them as hex,
using the current colorscheme.

=head2 get_color_attribute()

Is an alias for L<color_attribute()>.

=head2 raw_attribute(), get_raw_attribute()

	my $value = $object->raw_attribute( $name );

Return the value of attribute C<$name> from the object it this
method is called on (graph, node, edge, group etc.). If the
attribute is not set on the object itself, returns undef.

This method respects inheritance, so an attribute value of 'inherit'
on an object will make the method return the inherited value:

	my $g = Graph::Easy->new();
	my $n = $g->add_node('A');

	$g->set_attribute('color','red');

	print $n->raw_attribute('color');		# undef
	$n->set_attribute('color','inherit');
	print $n->raw_attribute('color');		# 'red'

See also L<attribute()>.

=head2 raw_color_attribute()

	# returns f.i. #ff0000
	my $color = $graph->raw_color_attribute('color' );

Just like L<raw_attribute()>, but only for colors, and returns them as hex,
using the current colorscheme.

If the attribute is not set on the object, returns C<undef>.

=head2 text_styles()

        my $styles = $node->text_styles();
        if ($styles->{'italic'})
          {

          }

Return a hash with the given text-style properties, aka 'underline', 'bold' etc.

=head2 find_grandparent()

	my $grandpa = $node->find_grandparent(); 

For a node that has no origin (is not relative to another), returns
C<$node>. For all others, follows the chain of origin back until
a node without a parent is found and returns this node.
This code assumes there are no loops, which C<origin()> prevents from
happening.

or C<\H> will be left alone and not be replaced.

=head2 link()

	my $link = $node->link();
	my $link = $node->link(1);		# raw

attributes.  If the node has no link associated with it, return an empty
string.

If the optional parameter is true, then the link will returned 'raw',
that is any potential escape of the form C<\N>, C<\E>, C<\G>, C<\T>
or C<\H> will not be left alone and not be replaced.
