The Backbone of JointJS Elements

It is a backbone structure used by jointjs to construct elements for a diagram. Usually you don't initiate cells directly. Rather, it is more efficient to create its children and grandchildren, e.g.: jointjs_circle, jointjs_image, jointjs_rectangle, etc.

z

A depth index. It will determine the plotting order on its parent container.

...

Parameters that will be set as SVG attributes to this object.
