Detailed Description

The BSTElement class is the building block for creating binary search trees.

It contains two children (left, right), and a search key, to be used in search operations. The search key is a generic parameter and should be orderable, such as numeric value, string, etc.

BSTElement contains a visualizer (ElementVisualizer) object for setting visual attributes (color, shape, opacity, size), necessary for displaying them in a web browser.

BST Elements also have a LinkVisualizer object, that is used when they are linked to another element, appropriate for setting link attributes, for instance, between the current element and its left or right child

Parameters

E	the generic parameter object that is part of this element, representing application specific data.
K	is the search key parameter in the BST node; K must be orderable, such as integer, float, string, etc., on which relational operators work.

This class extends the BinTreeElement class by adding a 'key' value for use in a binary search tree implementations.
