Annotation
Add text notes and comments to the node graph.
What it does
Annotation is a sticky note for the graph. It draws a resizable backdrop behind regular nodes, with a bold Title at the top and a multiline Text area underneath. It has no input or output pins and processes nothing.
Title, Text, and Background Color are edited inside the note on the canvas. Drag the note's edges to resize it, from a one-line label to a backdrop wrapping a whole cluster of nodes.
When to use it
Labelling a group of nodes so a collaborator, or a later session, can read what a section of the graph does.
Leaving a reminder, a TODO, or an explanation of a tricky setup without affecting the render.
Separating or framing a region of the graph with a tinted backdrop.
| Parameter | Type | Default |
|---|---|---|
title | String | "Note" |
text | String | "" |
background_color | Color | rgba(0.20, 0.20, 0.20, 0.80) |
Gotchas
Annotation has no width parameter. The note's size is the on-canvas box itself, set with the node's own resize handles.
Background Color includes an alpha channel: low alpha for a translucent note, full alpha for a solid card.
Worked example
Add an Annotation node near the part of the graph to document.
Click into Title and give it a short heading, then click into Text below for the longer explanation.
Drag a corner or edge of the note to resize it so it frames the note or the nodes nearby.
Adjust Background Color to make the note stand out or blend into the background.
