mxCellRenderer

Renders cells into a document object model.  The defaultShapes is a global map of shapename, constructor pairs that is used in all instances.  You can get a list of all available shape names using the following code.

In general the cell renderer is in charge of creating, redrawing and destroying the shape and label associated with a cell state, as well as some other graphical objects, namely controls and overlays.  The shape hieararchy in the display (ie. the hierarchy in which the DOM nodes appear in the document) does not reflect the cell hierarchy.  The shapes are a (flat) sequence of shapes and labels inside the draw pane of the graph view, with some exceptions, namely the HTML labels being placed directly inside the graph container for certain browsers.
