Answer 1

create your own shape inherited from Rectangle like this. This looks at the first moment a little bit unconfortable, but normaly you write your own shapes with a lot of custom code. In this case it is a one time effort to crate a new class.

Keep in mind that the examples are a good starting point. There is a an examples with a click event listener as well.

MyFigure = graphiti.shape.basic.Rectangle.extend({

NAME : "MyFigure",

init : function()
{
    this._super();

    this.createPort("output");
    this.setDimension(30,30);
    this.setResizeable(false);

    this.value=false;

    this.colors={};
    this.colors[true]="#00f000";
    this.colors[false]="#f00000";

    this.setBackgroundColor(this.colors[this.value]);
},

/**
 * @method
 * Change the color and the internal value of the figure.
 * Post the new value to related input ports.
 * 
 */
onClick: function(){
    this.value = !this.value;
    this.setBackgroundColor(this.colors[this.value]);

    var connections = this.getOutputPort(0).getConnections();
    connections.each($.proxy(function(i, conn){
        var targetPort = conn.getTarget();
        targetPort.setValue(this.value);
        conn.setColor(this.getBackgroundColor());
    },this));
}

});
