Feature request : Backdrop node #398

Open lpequignot opened 4 months ago

lpequignot commented 4 months ago

Hello,

One feature that could be very useful to organize Nodegraph as well as selecting, moving nodes would be to have a Backdrop node (as it is called in Compositing nodal software Nuke).

Here is a gif that shows the main features. You can create a backdrop node, that will be placed behind nodes, you can add text to explain what this part of Nodegraph do, change the color of the Backdrop and the font size. When you select the Backdrop top bar, all nodes on this backdrop are selected and follow position changes.

I'm wondering if it's possible to achieve it only by registering a new node ?

Regards,

Louise

Not easy to implement, unfortunately. I'll put it into the backlog so I can implement it if I have more time.
