I am okay with Skia nodes provided by VVVV to keep the default for Paint they have right now, but what I want is to have different defaults for my own wrapper nodes.
My use-case is that I am treating Process Nodes as UI components and I want to have sane defaults for my components. For example I have this FocusRect which draws corners like a camera does when it is focusing on a subject:
The thing is that vvvv uses white fill by default. So when a user adds this node they’d see this and would get confused:
and they’d realize that they need to pass Stroke to see this shape in the right form.
It is easy in vvvv to provide defaults in Input pins for primitive values, but for a paint which can be stacked, there’s no easy way to do this.
I would prefer if there was a node (like Group or Group(Spectral)) in vvvv that can combine paints by stacking them:
