/**
 * <p>Runtime configuration settings for the prefuse framework. Maintains a set
 * of hardwired configuration settings that can be overrriden by creating a
 * text proeprties file containing custom values. By default, prefuse will
 * look for the file "prefuse.conf" in the current working directory for
 * configuration name/value pairs. The framework can be instructed to look for
 * a different file by putting the full path to the file into the
 * "prefuse.config" System property (for example by using a -D flag at the
 * Java runtime command line).</p>
 * 
 * <p>
 * Some of the supported configuration properties include:
 * <ul>
 * <li><code>activity.threadPriority</code> - the thread priority of the
 * ActivityManager thread. The value should be between 1 and 10, with 5 being
 * the standard Java default. The default prefuse setting is 6.</li>
 * <li><code>data.io.worker.threadPriority</code> - the thread priority of
 * asynchronous database worker threads. The default prefuse setting is 5
 * (same as the Java thread default).</li>
 * <li><code>data.filter.optimizeThreshold</code> - the minimum number of items
 * that must be contained in a table for optimized query plans to be
 * considered. The default value is 300.</li>
 * <li><code>util.logdir</code> - the directory in which to write prefuse log
 * files. The default is "null" which defaults logging output to standard
 * output.</li> 
 * <li><code>util.logfile</code> - the filename pattern to use for naming
 * prefuse log files. The default is "prefuse_log_%g.txt", where the %g
 * indicates a unique number for the log file.</li>
 * </ul>
 * </p>
 * 
 * <p>
 * Application creators are welcome to add their own custom properties
 * to the configuration files and use the PrefuseConfig instance to
 * access those properties. This class is a singleton, accessed through
 * a static accessor method.
 * </p>
