Features of Graph Toolkit

Important

This experimental package is deprecated and no longer supported as of Unity version 6.4. Unity Graph Toolkit is included as a module in the Editor as of Unity version 6.4 and later, and does not require a separate installation. You can find the samples and accompanying documentation in the Unity Graph Toolkit samples package com.unity.graphtoolkit-samples.

The following table provides access to detailed documentation about each feature area in Graph Toolkit:

Feature area	Description
Node	Fundamental building blocks of a graph that represent specific operations or pieces of logic.
Context node	Specialized nodes that serve as dynamic containers for compatible block nodes.
Port*	Connection points on nodes that can be linked with wires to establish relationships.
Wire*	Lines that create connections between node ports.
Blackboard*	Panel that displays and manages variables available for use in the graph.
Variable*	Data containers with names, types, and values accessible throughout a graph.
Graph inspector*	Panel that provides detailed information about selected graph elements.
Minimap*	Small overview of the entire graph for navigation and visualization.
Toolbar*	Customizable panels providing direct access to common actions through button controls.
Graph item library*	Catalog of nodes that can be added to the current graph.
Subgraph*	Graphs nested within other graphs for organization and reusability of logic.
Portal*	Connection points that work in pairs and replace visible wires with wireless pathways.
Sticky note*	Visual elements for adding comments or annotations to graphs.
Placemat*	Visual background elements for grouping related graph elements.
Alignment*	Tools for precise positioning and arrangement of graph elements.
Selection*	Methods for choosing and manipulating individual or multiple graph elements.
Deletion*	Methods for removing elements from graphs.
Pan and zoom*	Controls for adjusting view and navigation within the graph canvas.
Hotkey*	Keyboard shortcuts for efficient execution of common editing operations.
Missing item*	Visual indicators for broken graph elements and connections.
Error*	Systems for displaying warnings, errors, and messages within graphs.
Display optimization*	Rendering techniques for maintaining performance with complex graphs.
Graph processing*	Hooks for analyzing graphs and responding to structural changes.

Note

Feature areas marked with an asterisk (*) have limited documentation. As development continues, these sections will be updated with more comprehensive documentation.
