You can add views to a script using OutputContext::create_view(viewname).
However, in agreement with Steve, any motivations for doing this in the
context of an operator sound suspect suspect at best. The one exception that
comes to mind is a file reader, and in fact, the exrReader source code is a
good example of altering script layers/channels/views dynamically, if at
least to get your head around what is involved.
If you're leaning toward a separate view for your alternate output(s), it
sounds like you may want to consider some extra layers instead. What kind of
extra data are you wanting to output?

The number of views is a project-level property that is set in the
project-settings property panel. It doesn't necessarily have to be set
prior to designing the SDG, but when changed will fundamentally alter the
data structures created by the various nodes in your script.
To my knowledge, there is no way to alter the project definitions from
inside a single node (as it will affect all other nodes in the script), nor
would it, It think, be a good idea, although it might actually be possible
by executing some Python code.
Not advisable, imho.

Okay, thanks for the info. Do views have to be already defined in order for
a node to write to them, or can nodes create new views?

Although technically true, realize that in a multi-view environment,
multiple instances of your Op will be instantiated, one for each defined
view, for every use of the base node in the SDG. Utilizing static storage,
it is possible for your node to be aware, and potentially communicate with
other versions of itself servicing those other view outputs.

Betreff: [Nuke-dev] multiple outputs?
Greetings,
I'm new to this list (and NDK development) so this might already be
answered.
Is it possible to create a node that provides multiple outputs?
Cheers,
Jon
