<DL>
<DD>Decodes the given XML node. The optional "into" argument specifies an
existing object to be used. If no object is given, then a new
instance is created using the constructor from the codec.
The function returns the passed in object or the new instance if no
object was given.

<DL>
<DD>Encoding of cell hierarchies is built-into the core, but is a
higher-level function that needs to be explicitely used by the
and mxRootChangeCodec). This implementation writes the given cell
and its children as a (flat) sequence into the given node. The
children are not encoded if the optional includeChildren is false.
The function is in charge of adding the result into the given node
and has no return value.

<DL>
<DD>Decodes cells that have been encoded using inversion, ie. where the
user object is the enclosing node in the XML, and restores the group
and graph structure in the cells. Returns a new <mxCell> instance
that represents the given node.

structure should be restored by calling insert and insertEdge on the
