User-customisable and/or type-dependent connector markers #1651

Open clbarnes opened 7 years ago

clbarnes commented 7 years ago

This fell out of #1512, the major part of which was resolved in #1649.

Currently, all connector nodes are rendered with the same texture: it would be nice to show different textures based on the node's subtype (synapse, abbutting, gapjunction etc.). It might be nicer still for these textures to be customisable by the user or project administrator.

As of #1649, a few different markers are defined with javascript: discs/spots, rings (unused), rings with crosshairs. A bunch of code assumes that the marker is a circle. There is an AbstractNode.markerType variable which controls which texture is created and cached on initTexture, which is then used whenever a node is drawn: if we were to have multiple options, we'd just need to cache one for each connector subtype and make sure the right one was picked up by the instances.
