<p>mxGraph is also available via the npm package manager. To use mxGraph as
a depedency, use <code>npm install</code>:</p>
<pre>npm install mxgraph --save</pre>
<p>The module can be loaded using <code>require()</code>. This returns a
factory function that accepts an object of options. Options such as
<code>mxBasePath</code> must be provided to the factory function, rather
than specified as global variables.</p>
<pre>var mxgraph = require("mxgraph")({
mxImageBasePath: "./src/images",
mxBasePath: "./src"
})</pre>
<p>The factory function returns a 'namespace object' that provides access to
all objects of the mxGraph package. For example, the <code>mxEvent</code>
object is available at <code>mxgraph.mxEvent</code>.</p>
<pre>var mxEvent = mxgraph.mxEvent;
mxEvent.disableContextMenu(container);</pre>
