How does one go about adding our own text overlays to the network view? There are certain things I'd like to inform the user about when certain context options change, just wondering where in the API I need to look for this (hopefully in Python). Thanks for any pointers!

I know it's possible because when I open H at work, it says the shot name in that overlay. I don't know how it works though.

Per https://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini16.5/news/16_5/index.html [www.sidefx.com] this is the nodegraphtitle.py module added in 16.5 and lets you modify the top left and right titles.
