Shape

A node of the Scene graph.

One of Pixor's own shapes — a box, a cylinder, letters — with its place, size, turn, colour and bevel on the node. It passes its list on and adds an object of itself; with nothing wired in it starts a list, so a Shape into a Ring is a ring of that shape.

Takes: objects (objects), kind (text), name (text), at.0 (number), at.1 (number), at.2 (number), size.0 (number), size.1 (number), size.2 (number), rotation.0 (number), rotation.1 (number), rotation.2 (number), colour (text), bevel (number), segments (number), smooth (on-off), words (text), font (text) · Gives: objects

Every setting is also an input: wire a value into it to change it per copy. On the command line: pxr graph set game.pixor --which scene --node shape --set KEY=VALUE.

What it wires to

Its objects input takes objects, which these give: Attribute, Bevel, Chunks, Clouds, Difference, Displace, Drop to ground, Effect, Foliage, Grid, Height field, Import, and 32 more.

What it gives, objects, goes into: Attribute, Bevel, Chunks, Clouds, Difference, Displace, Drop to ground, Effect, Foliage, Grid, Height field, Item, and 30 more.

In the app, drag a wire from one of its dots: every dot the wire fits is ringed.

How it fits with the rest: the Scene graph in the manual.
