Various types of elements can be present on a pipeline.
Blocks can have different states: idle, ready, or executed. These are color coded as
<table cellspacing="3" class="body" cellpadding="2" border="1">
<colgroup>
<col width="10%"/>
<col width="10%"/>
<col width="10%"/>
</colgroup>

<td bgcolor="#35A400">

<td bgcolor="#CFBFFF">
<p>executed</p>

The following table describes these elements:
