Abstract

A directed graph can be used with a browser application. In one embodiment, the browser application can allow the editor to edit and view the edited directed graph without having to change between software applications. A monitor at a client computer can display the directed graph in a format similar to what an actor will see when executing actions requested by the directed graph. In another embodiment, a virtual node can be used to represent a reconnection point for child columns of a row element within a parent column. The virtual node can be used when adding an element immediately after the row element.
