Graph Pass
Builds the graph step by step. Each pass reads and edits the whole graph.
Graph Passes read the graph and edit it. The passes run one after another, each on the whole graph.
Depending on its type and configuration, a Graph Pass can expand its input bounds. The input bounds are the region a pass must read. An earlier pass must generate whatever a later pass reads. Expanding the input bounds therefore increases the output bounds of every preceding pass. See Graph Generator for more.
Parameters common to all GraphPass types:
- Skip: boolean. Skips this pass and its children. The graph is unchanged.
- ExportAs: string. Exports this GraphPass under this name, so an Imported GraphPass can reference it.
- StatsLabel: string. The label used to identify this Graph Pass in the performance report.
Manual
The Manual pass lets you place nodes manually.
Names resolve inside this pass. The pass ignores any other name, and it ignores a node that names itself. The order of the list does not matter, so a connection can name a node that appears later.
Names do not have to be unique, and a duplicate causes no error. The pass still creates every node in the list. Only the last node with a given name can receive connections. All the nodes with an empty Name collide in the same way.
The pass creates one edge for each connected pair. A connection listed on both nodes therefore creates a single edge.
The pass skips a node when its Position is outside the region it is asked to generate. Connections to a skipped node are dropped.
Performance impact: Low. Scales with the number of nodes.
Input bounds impact: None.
Parameters:
- Nodes: list of Node entries.
- Position: decimal Vector3d.
- Content: GraphContent slot.
- Name: string. Identifies this node inside this pass.
- Connections: optional list of strings. Names of the nodes this node connects to.
Empty
Does nothing.
Performance impact: None.
Input bounds impact: None.
No parameters.
NodeAction
Runs a NodeAction on the nodes.
Performance impact: Depends on the performance cost of the child NodeAction.
Input bounds impact: Depends on the input bounds of the child NodeAction.
Parameters:
- NodeAction: NodeAction slot.
EdgeAction
Runs an EdgeAction on the edges.
Performance impact: Depends on the performance cost of the child EdgeAction.
Input bounds impact: Depends on the input bounds of the child EdgeAction.
Parameters:
- EdgeAction: EdgeAction slot.
Positions
Places a node for each position. The new nodes have empty content.
Performance impact: Depends on the performance cost of the child PositionProvider and scales with the number of positions.
Input bounds impact: None.
Parameters:
- Positions: PositionProvider slot. Determines where to place the new nodes.
Imported
Imports an exported GraphPass.
Performance impact: Inherits the performance cost of the imported asset.
Input bounds impact: Inherits the input bounds of the imported asset.
Parameters:
- Name: string. Name of the exported asset.
