Description

Some GPML files contain interactions with anchors that do not connect to anything, which leads to errors converting the GPML into SVG. Can a test be included to remove those unconnected anchors? They do not seem to be used for anything.

Research direction

Start by locating the GPML-to-SVG conversion code and its existing tests, then reproduce the failure with an interaction containing an unconnected anchor. Add coverage showing that such anchors are removed and conversion completes without errors; the test should pass for the reported GPML case.
