public class DependencyHighlighter
extends NodeControllerFactory

This is an attribute that produces a custom node controller that adds context menu commands to highlight dependents and prerequisites. A dependent is a downstream actor, and a prerequisite is an upstream actor. To use this, drop it onto any actor. The context menu (right click or command click) aquires four additional commands to highlight or clear highlights on dependents or prerequisites.
