Hi
I'm in favor of any technique which helps clarify a network 

Personally I just can't work in nuke unless I take care in layout and the logic 
of the flow - otherwise I'm completely confused when coming back to a script 

The option of color coding pipes etc sounds great - whatever helps whatever 
works

Ha. I introduced red for up purely because it was impossible to read scripts 
from a comper friend without it. 
I also like my code coloured, though I only gleam a bit of extra info from it. 
Oddly enough my code is just as crap either way  ;)

Personally I’m heavily against pipe coloring in my own environment. Even 
when untangling someone else’s mess, I find it easier to just use Nuke’s 
highlighting of the parent hierarchy of the current selection than having to 
visually process a mass of neon spaghetti. I think some of the same logic from 
this article 
(http://www.linusakesson.net/programming/syntaxhighlighting/index.php) 
is directly applicable to overly colorful trees, though I don’t necessarily 
agree with all the points he makes.

Anyone 
have thoughts on coloured lines in the Node Graph   Just like coloured 
Nodes, would colouring lines help reading the flow. i.e like the London Tube 
map. I'm experimenting with turning off Node Colors/AutoColor and manual 
colouring important nodes.  Would it help to be able to do that to 
lines?

Famous Tube map redesign; maybe some ideas in this

Might pinch that, however the label I use may be main mattes, rather than 
the last node name. 

And of course they can have multi channels in them. 

I just found when you have pipes running several 'pages' worth, it saves 
all that scrolling up and down. But requires a bit of copy and paste. 
Obviously there are tools to modify multiple nodes at once on nukepedia. 


Maybe the python could be modified to take one master dot at the top and 
copy its label? Hmmmm.

bugger tcl.


def getParentNode(node):
parentNode = node.input(0)
if parentNode.Class() == 'Dot':
return 
getParentNode(parentNode)
else:
return parentNode.name()

nuke.knobDefault('Dot.label', 
"[python getParentNode(nuke.toNode('Dot1'))]")

my favorite - label the dots. And have one just 
before inputs so you can easily see where each input came from. 


i like that one a lot! just added this to my menu..py 


nuke.knobDefault('Dot.label', ' [value input0.name]') 

might 
be worth thinking about how to get the name of the next non-dot node when 
traveling up the tree (in case one uses several dots in a row to direct 
the flow), but no idea how to do that through TCL.
