The Node Editor presents an editable schematic of the dependency graph, displaying nodes and the connections between their attributes. It allows you to view, modify and create new node connections. You can access the Node Editor from the Windows menu. ( Window > Node Editor).

You can graph the network of nodes of your choice, and build networks by using the Tab key and dragging lines from one node to another. Using this method, you can easily edit existing networks. All attribute ports and connection lines are represented by different colors so that connections can be easily read. In addition, you can create bookmarks to return to previous graph layouts for easy navigation.
