Creating a Port Filtering system

There are a number of ways to apply Port Filtering. The following are the three locations that can be used to implement a Port Filtering system:

Applying Port Filtering in the Node View

The Node View provides a quick and convenient way to label ports and apply Port Filters.

Applying Port Filtering in the Port Names View

The Port Names View gives a global and in depth view of all ports contained in a scene. Amongst the many tools available within the Port Names View window is the ability to apply both Port Names and Port Filters.

Another way to apply Port Names and Port Filters from the Port Names View is by using the Port number bar. By selecting your composite, the ports on the composite can be labeled for clarity or subdivision.

Applying Port Filtering Using the Port Names Toolbar

The Port Names Toolbar can be used to create a Port Filter, provided that a Port Name already exists. The Port Name needs to be created using one of the other methods listed above.

The Port Names Toolbar is synchronized to the Display menu. By changing the Port Name, the current display will be assigned a Port Filter based off the name in the Port Names Toolbar.
