point in the execution history.

definitions and executions. Supports customizing hovers and click
actions on displayed nodes.
* Supports (with some developer work) standalone applications
to visualize process definitions and executions.
* As a first release, this code hasn't been widely tested and
may contain bugs. The API is also not guaranteed to be stable.
