Using the Enhanced Node View

The enhancedNodeView subtree in the Globals tab provides additional display options
for the Node View. These options can be turned on all together, or individually, to make
it easy to spot image bit-depth at different parts of the tree, animated nodes, node
concatenation, and expressions linking one node to another.

Unlike most other guiControls parameters, which are either off or on, these
parameters—showTimeDependency, showExpressionLinks, showConcatentationLinks,
and noodleColorCoding—have three states. This allows you to toggle all three
parameters using the enhancedNodeView command from within the Node View. The
three states are:

off: Always off, regardless of whether or not enhancedNodeView is turned on.

on: Always on, regardless of whether or not enhancedNodeView is turned on.

enhanced: On when enhancedNodeView is on, and off when enhancedNodeView is
off.

To toggle enhanced Node View off and on:

Before turning on enhanced Node View, make sure the proper subparameters are
turned on in the enhancedNodeView subtree of the Globals tab.
