VisualLibraryAPI
The API provides a set of reusable pieces - widgets. By composing them you are creating a visualization. Each widget has various properties including layout, border, assigned actions, ... The library contains a set of pre-defined widgets that can be extended. All pluggable pieces are declared as interfaces or abstract classes - WidgetAction, Anchor, AnchorShape, PointShape, Animator, Border, GraphLayout, LookFeel, Layout, SceneLayout, Router, CollisionsCollector. Also they all have their built-in implementation.
When the scene is incrementally rendered, it may be possible that a model object becomes selected before some widgets are registered with the scene. Hover, select, focus flags can be attached even to unregistered objects.
Implemented in PR #308
Built-in pan action is using button from Scene.getInputBindings().getPanActionButton() method.
Default value remains MouseEvent.BUTTON2, i.e. mouse wheel, which is compatible with the previous
implementation.
Class Widget implements interface
Lookup.Provider. It already contains method
getLookup().
The old layout was improved in a way that nodes in a subtree are vertically aligned by the center of the super nodes. Also the possibility of overlapping in the old layout was removed by adding an approach based on the envelope of the (sub)trees. The second improvement was done by adding the possibility of minimizing the gaps between nodes. If a tree was very wide, the old layout used a lot of space. To prevent this the new algorithm with the possibility of minimization of gaps is based on the envelope. Therefore subtrees move as close together as possible.
ActionFactory.createContiguousSelectAction creates contiguous selection action.
ContiguousSelectProvider
provides logic for selection action.
ContiguousSelectEvent
is an event for ContiguousSelectProvider.
See documentation for complete set of use-cases.

No. Just set a normal project dependency on org.netbeans.api.visual (spec no.: 2.0) module.
