Duplicate GroupNode for nodegraphics

Question

Hi,

Is it expected to have, in the graphml XML generated by yEd, two duplicate GroupNode elements with same NodeLabel, one open and one closed? Thanks.

Answer 1

Yes, this is expected. One represents the opened and one the closed state. Try using e.g. different fill colors in opened and closed state and you will understand why it makes sense to store the data this way.
