Is there a way to change the abbreviation of a container from ‘Ctn’ to something custom per node? Or from another angle, is there a way to have the node show a simple text TOP that is different from what the node ultimately displays in perform mode?
for bases you can define a op-viewer parameter. The default here is ./out1,
for containers you can also change the background parameter to something differrent. Just keep in mind that this will be displayed if you use the container in a UI-Way. But its indipendent of the actual output-connector.
Yeah, I have lots of containers which are all part of the visuals and thus a Background TOP overrides their contents. The Base COMP’s approach seems like the right idea, though.
I often use a Text DAT as background operator for a Base COMP. Use this to write version info and some details . Added bonus is your can write in the DAT when activating the Base COMP viewers panel.
Edit:sorry this popped up in my feed didn’t realize it was an old thread
Does anyone know of a list somewhere inside TouchDesigner that lists all of the Operator Abbreviations?
What I want to achieve is a table something like the following, that also has a column for operator abbreviations.
/ui/dialogs/parGrabber/null_summaries
Thanks
You can use the .icon member.
Works on either a specific operator, or the operator class:
python >>> waveCHOP.icon
‘Wav’
For a list of all operators, look at the families dictionary:
python >>> [x.icon for x in families[‘CHOP’]]
