public class Node
extends Moveable
An Abstraction. Represents an Object that has an Icon representation which can be used to inform a Map how to handle the information that it contains. It may also have a GUI representation that appears inside a Form and either accepts input from the user or presents results. May be turned into an Abstract Class.
