Graph::Easy::Node::Cell - An empty filler cell
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Graph::Easy;
use Graph::Easy::Edge;
my $graph = Graph::Easy->new();
my $node = $graph->add_node('A');
my $path = Graph::Easy::Node::Cell->new(
graph => $graph, node => $node,
);
...
print $graph->as_ascii();
=head1 DESCRIPTION
A C<Graph::Easy::Node::Cell> is used to reserve a cell in the grid for nodes
that occupy more than one cell.
You should not need to use this class directly.

$last_error = $cell->error();
$cvt->error($error); # set new messags
$cvt->error(''); # clear error
Returns the last error message, or '' for no error.
=head2 node()
my $node = $cell->node();
Returns the node this filler cell belongs to.
