Components and component libraries

Components provide a powerful way to create new nodes and use them in the graph. A component is a model that is composed of nodes, each with their own parameters, and component libraries are .terralib files that can be imported and exported to use in a project and in other projects.

• Components:
  • Creating components
  • Modifying a component name and adding comments
  • Viewing the component node graph
  • Grouping component nodes
  • Adding inputs and outputs to a component
  • Deleting a component
  • Component parameters
  • • Adding value parameters
    • Adding list parameters to a component
    • Adding on/off parameters to a component
    • Adding an X translation parameter to a component
    • Adding a Y translation parameter to a component
    • Adding an X scale parameter to a component
    • Adding a Y scale parameter to a component
    • Adding a rotation parameter to a component
    • Adding a file name parameter to a component
    • Adding a color parameter to a component

• Component libraries
  • Exporting and importing components
  • Opening .terralib files
• Global library
