Description

The size scaling for a FanOut oplet seems too large relative to its significance. That can be distracting and misleading relative to the rest of the oplets in the graph. Note, a Splitter handing the same number of input tuples is scaled smaller than a FanOut. Any oplet feeding a FanOut will be scaled smaller than the FanOut.

I think it also makes sense to present FanOut, an implementation injected "plumbing" oplet, differently than an application's "functional" oplets. Maybe FanOut should always be colored light grey for starters? Maybe hexagonal, or rectangular like instrumentation injected oplets, instead of a circle?
