Docking
Docking a node is a way to reduce clutter in a network by hiding an operator as a small dock icon on another node. This icon is color-coded to indicate the Operator Family of the docked node. Any node can be docked to another node. When a dock parent node is moved in the Network Editor, the docked node moves with it as well.
A docked node is often docked to a related node to help with network organization, an example is the Ramp TOP. A new Ramp TOP is created with a docked Table DAT that stores the ramp color information. To view the Table DAT, click on the DAT-colored dock icon attached to the lower-right corner of the Ramp TOP. Click on the icon again to collapse the docked node back down to an icon.
Docking a Node
A node can be docked two different ways:
- - Right-clicking on the node to be docked and select Dock to ..., then click on the node you want to dock to.
- - Using the opdock Command
-
opdock -d dockparent node -
opdock -u node
