You can control the layout. Each node has a pos attribute, which is just an x,y tuple. If you assign a pos to the node, it uses it. If you don't, it calculates one.

You can also decide which nodes are open or closed, and which nodes show a preview.

Nodes identified as parameter nodes, via the PM or PM2 or PMC functions, will automatically be placed on the left side of the page.

Note that messing with node position somewhat dilutes the value of using matmatic.

For example:

candyColor = color ** (1 / (.1 + .9 * EdgeBlend(1, 0, 1)))

There are four nodes in there - to position them explicitly you'd have to break that nice clean expression up into many more.


Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
