Hey JayDub,
I took a look at this a while ago, and found that I still had to
handle every type of OMGraphic even if there were similar methods so I
didn't change anything in order to preserve backward compatibility.
It might be worth another look before the release, at least to make
sure that OMGraphics of the same type have similar methods.
Cheers,
Don
