Description

I propose some changes to the way the plan is displayed in the webfrontend:

1. Add zoom buttons (+/-). On Laptops where you have no mouse wheel, you cannot zoom the graph.

2. Omit the ID in the title of the operators (maybe list it in the bottom)

3. Rename "Driver Strategy" to "Strategy" or "Operations"

4. Make the arrows from Broadcast variables enter the box from top/bottom, rather than from the left.

5. Instead of writing in a node "Additional Edge to Node X" , can you actually draw a box X and have an arrow from X to that node?
