Error description
When new nodes are being added to a network view, these nodes are placed based on an algorithm, that the API provider Tom Sawyer implemented. Instead of using this algorithm, new nodes should be placed into a default location, let's say lower right corner (or whereever, but default), so that a cusomter can put these nodes wherever they want them to appear. Our customer arranges network views according to a view, that all their operators recognize. Now if new nodes a placed in this view, it affects some of the other nodes, resulting in a new (different) layout.

Problem conclusion
Java code change code to specifically place new nodes at the top or bottom of existing graphs (when topoviz property topoviz.node.freezeold=true) to prevent the Tom Sawyer layout algorithm from moving existing nodes.
