Routing

This page documents the development version of Graphite at dev.graphite.art, which may differ from the current release.

Nodes in this category direct how data flows through the graph, such as switching between inputs, repeating steps on a result, wrapping nodes into a custom subgraph, and caching results.

Nodes

NodeDetailsPossible Types
Catch

Uses the alternative where the content failed, and hides the error.

String → String
Bool → Bool
Number → Number
Integer → Integer
Vec2 → Vec2
Transform → Transform
Vector → Vector
Graphic → Graphic
Raster → Raster
Color → Color
Gradient → Gradient
Artboard → Artboard
String[] → String[]
Bool[] → Bool[]
Number[] → Number[]
Integer[] → Integer[]
Vec2[] → Vec2[]
Transform[] → Transform[]
Vector[] → Vector[]
Graphic[] → Graphic[]
Raster[] → Raster[]
Color[] → Color[]
Gradient[] → Gradient[]
Artboard[] → Artboard[]
Fallback

Keeps rendering with the fallback where the content failed, and still shows the error.

String → String
Bool → Bool
Number → Number
Integer → Integer
Vec2 → Vec2
Transform → Transform
Vector → Vector
Graphic → Graphic
Raster → Raster
Color → Color
Gradient → Gradient
Artboard → Artboard
String[] → String[]
Bool[] → Bool[]
Number[] → Number[]
Integer[] → Integer[]
Vec2[] → Vec2[]
Transform[] → Transform[]
Vector[] → Vector[]
Graphic[] → Graphic[]
Raster[] → Raster[]
Color[] → Color[]
Gradient[] → Gradient[]
Artboard[] → Artboard[]
Iterate

Feeds the content through the same steps over and over, each time starting from the previous result. Inside the steps, a Read node like Read String or Read Vector reads the result so far, and Read Index reads how many times around it has been.

String → String
String[] → String[]
Number → Number
Number[] → Number[]
Vector → Vector
Vector[] → Vector[]
Graphic → Graphic
Graphic[] → Graphic[]
Raster → Raster
Raster[] → Raster[]
Color → Color
Color[] → Color[]
Gradient → Gradient
Gradient[] → Gradient[]
Memoize

Helps speed up repeated renders in a computationally-heavy part of the node graph.

Stores the last evaluated data that flowed through this node and immediately returns that data on subsequent renders if the context has not changed.

Vec2Components → Vec2Components
Vec2ComponentsMapped → Vec2ComponentsMapped
PathEvaluation → PathEvaluation
PathEvaluationMapped → PathEvaluationMapped
ImageChannels → ImageChannels
ImageChannelsMapped → ImageChannelsMapped
Placeholder

Shows the placeholder until the content has finished loading.

String → String
Bool → Bool
Number → Number
Integer → Integer
Vec2 → Vec2
Transform → Transform
Vector → Vector
Graphic → Graphic
Raster → Raster
Color → Color
Gradient → Gradient
Artboard → Artboard
String[] → String[]
Bool[] → Bool[]

Vector[] → Vector[]
Graphic[] → Graphic[]
Raster[] → Raster[]
Color[] → Color[]
Gradient[] → Gradient[]
Artboard[] → Artboard[]
Suppress Error

Keeps the value a failed node still gave, and hides its error. A failure without a value still stops everything that depends on it.

String → String
Bool → Bool
Number → Number
Integer → Integer
Vec2 → Vec2
Transform → Transform
Vector → Vector
Graphic → Graphic
Raster → Raster
Color → Color
Gradient → Gradient

Bool[] → Bool[]
Number[] → Number[]
Integer[] → Integer[]
Vec2[] → Vec2[]
Transform[] → Transform[]
Vector[] → Vector[]
Graphic[] → Graphic[]
Raster[] → Raster[]
Color[] → Color[]
Gradient[] → Gradient[]
Artboard[] → Artboard[]
Switch

Evaluates either the "If True" or "If False" input branch based on whether the input condition is true or false.

Bool → String
Bool[] → String[]
Bool → Bool

Bool → Number
Bool[] → Number[]

Bool[] → Artboard[][]
Throw Error

Raises an error with the message while the condition is true, so a custom node can reject input it can't work with.
