	Default	Return the default property metadata
	Description	Description of this GraphProperty
	DescriptiveCategoryCaption	(Inherited from GraphObject.)
	Group	For grouping this Property in a Property Grid.
	IsBrowsable	Return true if the property is browsable
	IsCollapsed	Get whether this node is collapsed. (Inherited from GraphObject.)
	IsExpanded	Get whether this node is expanded. (Inherited from GraphObject.)
	IsGroup	Get whether this object is IsGroup. It looks for the GraphProperties.StyleForGroup (Inherited from GraphObject.)

Methods

	Name	Description
	AddCategory	Add a category to the object (Inherited from GraphObject.)
	ClearCategories	Remove all categories from this object. (Inherited from GraphObject.)
	ClearValue(GraphProperty)	Removes the value of the specified property (Inherited from GraphObject.)
	Copy	Make a copy of the graph metadata.
	CopyCategories	Copy any new categories from the given object, keeping existing categories. (Inherited from GraphObject.)
	CopyProperties	Copy any new properties from the given object, keeping existing property values unchanged. (Inherited from GraphObject.)
	Equals	Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)

	GetValue<T>(GraphProperty, Graph)	Gets the value of the specified property. (Inherited from GraphObject.)
	GetValue<T>(GraphProperty, T)	Gets the value of the specified annotation. if property is not set we reutnr the default value that the caller pass to this method (Inherited from GraphObject.)
	GetValue<T>(GraphProperty, Graph, GraphCategory%)	Gets the value of the specified property, and also return the category that this property value was inherited from if any. (Inherited from GraphObject.)
	GetValueAsString	Returns the given property as a string using the given culture. (Inherited from GraphObject.)
