Grid aligned pins & inputs/outputs

[muit]

Hi!

Thank you for your awesome work :) I have a couple questions if you don't mind.

Is there a way to modify pins to be aligned exactly with the grid? That is considering that the node is already snapped to the grid.

The second question is if its possible to split the node's inputs and outputs so that they are aligned horizontally. So instead of this:

--------------
| Input      |
|     Output |
--------------

This:

-----------------
| Input  Output |
-----------------

Well, solved the second issue using groups :)

Essentially surrounding inputs in a group and outputs in another group, then adding a SameLine:

ImGui::BeginGroup();    // Inputs
{
    ImNodes::BeginInputAttribute(2, ImNodesPinShape_QuadFilled);
    ImGui::Text("");
    ImNodes::EndInputAttribute();

    ImNodes::BeginInputAttribute(3, ImNodesPinShape_CircleFilled);
    ImGui::Text("Value");
    ImNodes::EndInputAttribute();
}
ImGui::EndGroup();

ImGui::SameLine();
ImGui::BeginGroup();    // Outputs
{
    ImNodes::BeginOutputAttribute(4, ImNodesPinShape_QuadFilled);
    ImGui::Text("True");
    ImNodes::EndOutputAttribute();

    ImNodes::BeginOutputAttribute(5, ImNodesPinShape_QuadFilled);
    ImGui::Text("False");
    ImNodes::EndOutputAttribute();
}
ImGui::EndGroup();

How can I right align the output text? Getting the remaining Width does not seem to work...

[david-rokeby]

I was able to right align the output text, but it required calculating the text width, and calculating a position that would right align and then draw the text to the draw list, instead of the normal call to draw the text, then added a dummy.

I needed to save the size of my node elsewhere in my code, for use in this chunk of code. There may be a better way to do it, but this does the trick.

`

ImNodes::BeginOutputAttribute(uuid);
ImVec2 p = ImGui::GetCursorScreenPos();
ImDrawList *draw_list = ImGui::GetWindowDrawList();
const char *label_start = label.c_str();
const char *label_end = ImGui::FindRenderedTextEnd(label_start);
ImVec2 text_size = ImGui::CalcTextSize(label_start, label_end, false, 0.0f);
float lineHeight = ImGui::GetTextLineHeight();
if(node)
    p.x += (node -> nodeSize.x - text_size.x - lineHeight);

draw_list -> AddText( p, ImGui::GetColorU32(ImVec4(1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f)), label_start, label_end);
ImGuiContext& g = *GImGui;
const ImGuiStyle& style = g.Style;
ImGui::Dummy(ImVec2(text_size.x + style.FramePadding.x * 4, lineHeight));

ImNodes::EndOutputAttribute();
