Custom node pin location
Hi,
When creating new nodes in a node_editor, would it be possible to allow the location of the pins (input and output) to be user-defined such that they can be located anywhere along the edges of a node? I ran into an issue in my project, where the node hierarchy/network would be more user friendly if the connections would run top-bottom, rather than left-right.
Currently I don't see any workaround for customizing the locations of the input and output pins for a node widget, other than being on the left or right side.
Thank you!
Unfortunately ImNodes, the backbone of DPG node editor, does not support pins on top/bottom edges. Even at the left/right side, it takes quite an effort to place pins at specific locations/offsets.
Just FYI, here's an example of how one can place dots on the left and right side at the same level: https://github.com/my1e5/dpg-examples/blob/main/misc/multiple_node_attributes_one_line.py
Not sure how much effort it would be to support this inside of DPG.
