Node represents the basic processing unit of a flowchart.
A Node subclass implements at least:
1) A list of input / ouptut terminals and their properties
2) a process() function which takes the names of input terminals as keyword arguments and returns a dict with the names of output terminals as keys.
A flowchart thus consists of multiple instances of Node subclasses, each of which is connected
to other by wires between their terminals. A flowchart is, itself, also a special subclass of Node.
This allows Nodes within the flowchart to connect to the input/output nodes of the flowchart itself.
Optionally, a node class can implement the ctrlWidget() method, which must return a QWidget (usually containing other widgets) that will be displayed in the flowchart control panel. Some nodes implement fairly complex control widgets, but most nodes follow a simple form-like pattern: a list of parameter names and a single value (represented as spin box, check box, etc..) for each parameter. To make this easier, the CtrlNode subclass allows you to instead define a simple data structure that CtrlNode will use to automatically generate the control widget. """
