Hi !

I wanted to know how did sideFx manage to embed pyqt ui on their nodes like the stage manager or the layout node ?
I know that they are python panel but I couldn't find anything in the doc/files that explain how to get it directly in the ui of the node and to switch with the "show/hide" button.
Is it just a replacement of panel on node loading ?

Thanks !

Unfortunately it's not really easily found in the documentation but things like the Stage Manager, Light Mixer,etc are really just normal Python Panels with node type bindings. If you open the Python Panel Editor and select any of them you'll see there is a "Parameter Pane Hints" group of settings where you can tell Houdini that you want to be able to show this panel on the parameter pane for certain node type(s).
