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 connected components are placed: components with a higher sum of node priorities will end up before components with a lower sum. Priorities set on edges usually directly influence the attractive force of a connection, with higher priorities corresponding to greater attractive forces.
