Spline Append

Node icon

In: Spline & Path Tools > Spline Tools

Description

Splines are packaged as a list. This node appends a list of input splines (set #2) onto an existing list (set #1).

The order of the lists is preserved, meaning appending a list D-E-F onto a list A-B-C results in a list A-B-C-D-E-F.

TIP
Be mindful of the order in which you append splines, as this order is taken into account in other nodes, such as Scatter on Splines, the Spline Bridge nodes, etc.

Input connectors

Preview #1 GrayscaleThe preview of the first set of input splines as a grayscale image.

Spline #1 Coords ColorThe coordinates of the first set of input splines’ points encoded in the RGBA channels of a color image.

Spline Amount IntegerThe number of output splines.

Parameters

Flip Spline #1 Direction BooleanInverts the direction of the splines in the first set.

Flip Spline #2 Direction BooleanInverts the direction of the splines in the second set.

Preview

Segments Amount IntegerAdjusts the number of segments used to draw the spline visualization in the Preview output.
A higher value results in a smoother line.

Show Direction Helper BooleanDisplays a dot at the start of the spline and an arrowhead at its end in the Preview output.

Show Thickness Envelope Boolean
Displays additional lines at the edges of the spline’s thickness.

Thickness (px) FloatAdjusts the thickness of the spline visualization in pixels in the Preview output.
