This is a work in progress Addon to help automatically organise node layouts based on the work of the Node Arrange an Official Addon. I am currently working on it in my freetime to improve/change some of its functionality. As of now I have not changed much of the original code and have been researching solutions and features that I wish to implement.
- 1) Implement Rudimentary Sugiyama Layout
- 2) Add alignment options
- 3) Make it compatible with groups/frames
- 4) Add group/frame options
- Manual Arrangement (My Original Layout)
- Node Arrange Official Addon (After Hitting Arrange All Nodes)
- 3DSinghVFX Node Align a Community Addon (I hit shift+E on the group input node and selected the dependecies to the right)
- Node Wrangler an Official Addon (I hit the node align button. Its utility seems to be more in arranging all the nodes into either a single row or a column but it wont arrange for both.)
These are some sites I am using to research this:
