What is a Node

A node or graph instance is an instance of a graph that is within another graph. Specifically, when you are dragging or right clicking and creating nodes within your graph, you are creating instances of the nodes. When you right click a node and choose to edit the node, you are opening up the graph to modify.

Manipulating Nodes in a Graph

Nodes can be added to a graph by pressing "space" and searching for the node you want in the textbox. Other methods will be added in the future. Nodes can be deleted by selecting them and hitting the "delete" key.

Structure

Nodes can have inputs and outputs on them, and are mostly designed to transform the inputs into the outputs. Nodes without inputs actually create somekind of output for other nodes to use. Nodes without outputs are designed to execute some final action on the data, such as logging, saving to a file, or rendering a result to a window.

Nodes also have internal properties, which can sometimes be modified. Double clicking on a node will open up an editor for it, if it has one.
