'''Description:''' This module tracks dependencies through your model, updating the visual appearance of nodes so that you can quickly visualize the paths by which one variable influences another.  You can also use it to provide a visual indication of which nodes are downstream (or upstream) from an indicated variable.

The module contains button scripts that change the bevel appearance of nodes in your model.  To see how Variable <code>X</code> influences Variable <code>Y</code>, the script will bevel the nodes for all variables that are influenced by <code>X</code> and influence <code>Y</code>.  Alternatively, you can bevel all nodes that are influenced by <code>X</code>, or you can bevel all nodes that influence <code>Y</code>.

In the image above, the path from <code>dp_ex_2</code> through <code>dp_ex_4</code> has been highlighted using the bevel style of the nodes.  (The result of pressing the "Bevel all from Ancestor to Descendant" button)
