Graph Canvas and Controls

The graph canvas is used to place nodes, connect sockets and organise the effect.

Move around the graph

• Drag empty canvas space to pan.
• Use the mouse wheel over the graph to zoom.
• Use middle mouse to pan from anywhere on the canvas.
• Drag any clear part of a node to move it.
• Use Fit graph to bring the full graph back into view.

Select nodes

Click a node to select it.

Use Ctrl/Cmd or Shift while clicking to add or remove a node from the current selection. Use Shift and drag empty canvas space to draw a selection box.

Dragging one selected node moves the full selection.

Connections

Drag from an output socket to a compatible input socket. The editor blocks incompatible value types and direct shader-stage conflicts.

An input can have one connection. Dropping a new cable onto an occupied input replaces the old connection.

Click a cable to select it, then press Delete to remove it.
