/*
 * This script attemps to import a draw.io (aka diagrams.net) diagram into an Archi model by 
 * empirically mapping the observable attributes of the XML elements exported from draw.io to Archimate
 * elements and relationships. Please note that this mapping is fragile, because draw.io doesn't seem 
 * to generate the XML attributes in a very consistent way; also, we must unfortunately use element color
 * as a key differentiator, to compensate for the lack of usable archimate information in the XML file. 
 * All of this means that minor changes in the draw.io XML format can break the mapping...
 * Notes:
 * -- To generate the draw.io file, export it as an *uncompressed* XML file.
 * -- When running the script, make sure you have set the current model to import it in (e.g. by selecting a view in the model)

/*
 * Distribute the selected (visual) elements horizontally, vertically, or both (based on response to prompt)
 * Notes:
 *   - the center point of each element is taken as reference for the distribution
 *   - the overall visual order (left-to-right and top-to-bottom) of the elements is not modified
 *   - if a non-visual element is part of the selection, the script will crash :-(
