Class VisioStencilConverter

The VisioStencilConverter is a utility class that converts Visio stencil files (.vss files) into Essential Diagram symbol palettes (.edp files). Each shape in the stencil file will have a Group equivalent in the SymbolPalette. The symbol palette may directly be consumed by diagramming applications, and symbols created from the symbol models.
