Houdini 20.5 Nodes APEX Nodes

graph::AddWirePath

Connects two APEX node ports.

On this page
Since 20.5

Connects two APEX node ports together with a series of wires that traverse subnets if necessary. The ports must be from two different nodes. srcport is the output port of one node, and dstport is the input port of another node. It must be possible to connect the nodes either directly or through a series of subnet inputs and outputs. Subnet inputs and outputs are reused wherever possible.

Note

A port ID is unique within a graph, including the ports within nested subnets.

The graph ports of this node are in-place ports, which means that the graph is updated without creating a copy.

Inputs

*graph: ApexGraphHandle Required

The graph that contains the two ports to connect together.

srcport: ApexPortID

The output port of a node. Connecting this port to another input port results in srcport's calculated result being forwarded to the next node.

dstport: ApexPortID

The input port of a node. Connecting an output port to this port results in dstport using the calculated result of the source as its input value.

name: String

The name that is used for any subnet ports that are added to complete the wire path from srcport to dstport. If name is an empty string, the name of srcport is used as the port names that are added on the subnets.

Outputs

*graph: ApexGraphHandle

The updated graph with the added wire connections.
