• see reset method for default settings
  
• this node can also be created with the aliases: node, ygGroup, and group
  
• handles basic node functions such as maintaining child/parent pointers, handling events, and processing initial messages
  
• this node can be used to group items in a scene
  

constructor ygNode

1 if createPfNode flag set then create a new group node
2 print out all messages sent over the network
3 print out all messages received or sent by an event
4 display debug outline
5 change debug outline color to selected
6 distribute list of children nodes
7 distribute network messages
8 distribute display debug status
9 register updated event

destructor ~ygNode

method reset

1 reset display debug
2 clear event messages
3 send intitial messages

method sendInitMessages

method message

1 configure messages to send in response to an event
2 add the given node as a child
3 turn debuging on and off
4 turn display debuging on and off
5 turn display selected debuging on and off
6 print the arguments to standard output
7 reset and send initial and/or individual event messages
8 generate an event with arguments of the form "arg=val"

8.0.0.1 process event messages with arguments

8.0.0.1 process event messages without arguments
