                // The following 4 options allow the user to provide custom behavior to
                // the extension. They can be used to maintain consistency of some data
                // when elements are duplicated.
                // These 4 options are set to null by default. The function prototypes
                // are provided below for explanation purpose only.

                // Function executed on the collection of elements being copied, before
                // they are serialized in the clipboard
                beforeCopy: function(eles) {},
                // Function executed on the clipboard just after the elements are copied.
                // clipboard is of the form: {nodes: json, edges: json}
                afterCopy: function(clipboard) {},
                // Function executed on the clipboard right before elements are pasted,
                // when they are still in the clipboard.
                beforePaste: function(clipboard) {},
                // Function executed on the collection of pasted elements, after they
                // are pasted.
