Chapter 7 Using the Node View 225
Noodle Tension
The noodleTension parameter, within the guiControls subtree of the Globals tab, lets
you adjust how much “slack” there is in the way noodles are drawn from knot to knot.
Higher values introduce more slack, and noodles appear more curved. Lower values
reduce the slack, and noodles are drawn in more of a straight line.
Customizing Noodle Color Coding
In the noodleColors subtree of the colors subtree, there are 12 different parameters for
noodle color coding, corresponding to each possible combination of color channels in
Shake. Each combination has a color control you can use to set up whichever color
scheme makes the most sense to you.
The top parameter, noodleColor, lets you change the base color of noodles in the Node
View. Noodles are white by default, but you can use the color control to change this to
anything you like.
Customizing Noodle Stippling
You can customize the stipple patterns of noodles in the enhancedNodeView subtree
of the Globals tab. You can also customize the colors used to identify noodle bit depth
in the noodleColors subtree of the colors subtree of the Globals tab.
