    Share some functions between the interface interactor and various layer
    interactors.

    Individual interactors need the following functions:

        save(ev)  - save the current state for later restore
        restore() - restore the old state
        move(x,y,ev) - move the interactor to position x,y
        moveend(ev) - end the drag event
        update() - draw the interactors

    The following are provided by the base class:

        connect_markers(markers) - register callbacks for all markers
        clear_markers() - remove all items in self.markers
        onHilite(ev) - enter/leave event processing
        onLeave(ev) - enter/leave event processing
        onClick(ev) - mouse click: calls save()
        onRelease(ev) - mouse click ends: calls moveend()
        onDrag(ev) - mouse move: calls move() or restore()
        onKey(ev) - keyboard move: calls move() or restore()

        base  - model we are operating on
        axes  - axes holding the interactor
        color - color of the interactor in non-active state
