I've just fixed the VTK view,here are 2 images to compare the 2D and 3D views:

You can see that it is the same topology in both cases.
With VTK, i'm using node and edge coloring, with the right theme, the
node color gets hotter with the number of edges (number of end points)
and the edges get hotter with the weight, that is, the number of
connections b/w 2 objects.
Something that will have to be implemented "manually" with the cgraph
based view.

As well i've added the VTK arrows, but this is quite buggy for now.

I'm trying to focus on the probe side right now, but i have to say,
that setting up VTK view is actually easier that cgraph, mainly b/c w/
cgraph i have to implement everything myself.
Still, i think that these 2 tools are complimentary.
