parameters of other nodes. They can be used to either gather important parameters
of a complex graph or define the parameters of a subgraph node.< / p >

< p > Linked widgets can be used to modify at the same time several parameters from several nodes.< / p >
< p > When hovering a linked widget, the user interface will show which parameters it controls.< / p >
< img alt = "_images/remote_create_linked_widget.gif" class = "align-center" src = "_images/remote_create_linked_widget.gif" / >
< p > To create a linked widget, click on the < img alt = "create_linked_widget" src = "_images/create_linked_widget.png" / > button and select a parameter
to be controlled in another node. This will create a new linked widget whose type is the
same as the selected parameter.< / p >
< p > More parameters can be controlled by the same linked widget. To add one, click on the
< img alt = "add_linked_widget" src = "_images/add_linked_widget.png" / > button of the linked widget, and select the parameter. While
associating parameters to linked widgets, Material Maker will check compatibility.< / p >

in the graph.< / p >
< img alt = "_images/remote_configuration_widget.gif" class = "align-center" src = "_images/remote_configuration_widget.gif" / >
< p > To create a configuration widget, click on the < img alt = "create_configuration_widget" src = "_images/create_configuration_widget.png" / > button
and select a parameter to be controlled in another node. Then, link all other parameters
that should be controlled using the < img alt = "add_linked_widget" src = "_images/add_linked_widget.png" / > button.< / p >
< p > When all parameters are linked, you can create your first configuration. Set the values
of all parameters for this first configuration, then select the < strong > add configuration< / strong >
option in the configuration’
the new configuration.< / p >
< p > Repeat the same operation (set all parameters values, then < strong > add configuration< / strong > ) to
add all other configurations.< / p >
< p > Selecting a configuration using the drop down button will recall the associated parameters
values.< / p >
< p > It is also possible to rename, update or delete a configuration using the drop down button.< / p >
