Defines the priority of an object; its meaning depends on the specific layout algorithm and the context where it is used.
Priorities set on nodes determine the order in which they are placed: boxes with a higher priority will end up before boxes with a lower priority. Boxes with equal priorities are sorted from smaller to bigger unless the layout algorithm is set to interactive mode.
