Issue with adding filters
I can't seem to get the tile to load.
Some trickery is going on here.
With change set loaded the grapics tiles category i empty.
Change getHue to getGraphic and a item is added to the graphics
category in the viewer.


Load the following change set.

SketchMorph>>additionsToViewerCategories
	^ #(
(graphics (
(slot jhrj 'Change color hue with given amount' Number readOnly Player
c  notUsed notUsed )

Are there some behind the back filtering going on here ?
