I find that with this bit of code, if I'm moving a network, that the nodes almost never end up in a good position.

I'm moving the nodes one at a time right now. Are there any tricks for moving a whole network?

Ctl-a selects all the nodes, then you can move them. You can also right click on a node and ‘select input’.

Heh, apologies for being unclear…

I have a python script

for n in nodes:
n.moveToGoodPosition(move_outputs=False,move_inputs=False, relative_to_inputs=True)



As you can see, I tried playing with some of the options with no real sucess. Is there a better way to do this?

Ah, yes, I see…am I not reading subjects again?

Sorry, never touched that - I'm just guessing but I would imagine ‘good position’ means whatever ‘l’ does when you hit it in the interface…but maybe someone can jump in who's actually used it.

Cheers,

Hmmm, that's a good point JC. Using the ‘l’ key you can transfrom a selection of nodes all relative to each other…

I imagine that this method (multiple nodes at once) hasn't made it to hython yet?

I get nice results using layoutChildren()
