Feature Request: Flip I/O #435

Closed Immac closed 4 months ago

Immac commented 4 months ago

Being able to flip a node I/O. Adding a property flip_io that can be toggled per individual node so workflows can be done towards any direction and not just left to right/ up to down.
Mostly clarity increase change. (Just take into account in simple cases like this the clarity improvements are not so obvious) vs

There is an option to use top-down slots, that would eventually solve your case maintaining the general rule left to right / top to down reading convention. If would implement something like that, the flow direction should probably be visible.

jagenjo commented 4 months ago

reversing the flow would be very confusing to the readability of the graph, and imply lots of conditioning in the system so it is not a valid feature.
