Re: Help with GraphPinScene and adding of Pins

Hi,

Yes, it is exactly like this. It is just an optimization since the icon
node is just an image with an label - one on top or left of the other.
Therefore I've used the vertical/horizontal flow layout in the
IconNodeWidget by default. I have updated the javadoc and documentation.

Sorry for inconvenience,
  David
