Advanced usage

Date Time

Advanced Nodes allow you to prefix or postfix datetime to a path Datetime is formatted using strftime so can be customized to any format you like more info on strftime here https://strftime.org/ adv_datetime_use.png

Variable formatting

Advanced Nodes also allow for the formatting of variables with the node being constructed. Use the {} notion where you wish for variable to be formatted within the given string variable_formatting.png

Multiple Variable formatting

If you wish to format multiple variables then this is also possible by passing a comma seperated string into 'input_variables'. You can use the Join Variables node to do this for you. Note order of variables is import multi_variable_formatting.png

** note input_variables will accept any type and attempt to format. I wanted to be able to pass strings, ints, floats etc but given its unrestricted this may break if given types such a LATENT

** primate node doesnt work however

Known issues

Show Path seems to always hold first value it receives and then will redner a second text window with any updated values. Not sure why this is happening. Appears to be something related to PATH being a custom type
