<h1>Remote nodes<a class="headerlink" href="#remote-nodes" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
|
||
<p>Remote nodes have no input or output. They are only used to control (remotely) the
|
||
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>
|
||
<div class="section" id="creating-a-remote-node">
|
||
<h2>Creating a remote node<a class="headerlink" href="#creating-a-remote-node" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
|
||
<p>Remote nodes can be created by dragging a Miscellaneous/Remote node from the library
|
||
pane to a graph pane.</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<div class="section" id="configuring-a-remote-node">
|
||
<h2>Configuring a remote node<a class="headerlink" href="#configuring-a-remote-node" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
|
||
<p>Remote nodes provide two kinds of controls:</p>
|
||
<ul class="simple">
|
||
<li><p>linked widgets, that are associated to parameters in the graph and whose values are copied
|
||
into the target parameters</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>configuration widgets, that can be used to define named configurations of the target
|
||
parameters</p></li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<div class="section" id="linked-widgets">
|
||
<h3>Linked widgets<a class="headerlink" href="#linked-widgets" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
|
||
<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>
|
||
<p>To delete a linked widget, click on its <img alt="remove_linked_widget" src="_images/remove_linked_widget.png" /> button.</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<div class="section" id="configuration-widgets">
|
||
<h3>Configuration widgets<a class="headerlink" href="#configuration-widgets" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
|
||
<p>Configuration widgets are used to create named configurations for associated parameters
|
||
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’s drop down button. you will be propted for a name for
|
||
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>
