nuke.nodes is the atomic command that does nothing else but create the node.
nuke.createNode() acts exactly like the UI in that it deselects everything and
selects the new node, auto-places it, auto-connects it etc.
So if you use createNode you can grab the first node's auto-position (where you
clicked last) and position subsequent nodes accordingly. E.g.:
d = nuke.createNode( 'Dot' )
xp = d.xpos()
yp = d.ypos()
d2 = nuke.createNode( 'Dot' )
d2.setXYpos( xp+d.screenWidth(), yp )

the easiest way is to export a gizmo, then change the word "Gizmo" to "Group"
in the resulting file.
