Draw

Hand-drawn paths, made with the Pencil, Pen, or Line tool. Animate Progress to draw it out along its path.

Inputs

Port	Type	Default	Range	Description
Progress	Scalar	100%	0–100%	How much of the drawing's path is visible, from the start. Animate from 0% to 100% to draw it out
Trail	Scalar	100%	0–100%	Length of the visible stretch behind Progress. At 100%, everything up to Progress stays visible
Tail Fade	Scalar	0%	0–100%	Fades the back of the visible stretch
Explode	Scalar	0%	0–50%	Pushes each object away from the center of the drawing

Frame	Frame	The drawing, revealed by Progress and Trail

Canvas: draw directly on the node. The node's tool strip has the same Select, Pencil, Pen, Line, and Eraser tools as a Draw layer. A new Draw node starts with an empty canvas and the Pencil ready.
Resize: drag the grip in the node's bottom-right corner to make the canvas bigger. Zoomed out, the canvas becomes a thumbnail; double-click it to zoom to the node.
Larger canvas: the button in the canvas's top-right corner opens a bigger canvas over the graph for detailed work.
Point budget bar: shows this drawing's share of the layer's points. It turns amber when the drawing needs more points than it gets.

Drive Progress with a Phasor to draw it out on a loop. Add Trail below 100% so only a short stretch follows the head.
Put two drawings into a Frame Switch on Morph to reshape one sketch into another.
Wire an Envelope into Explode and trigger it from audio to burst the drawing apart on every kick.
Run the drawing through Camera Projection and animate Pan for a hand-drawn logo that turns in 3D.

Draw nodes wired to the Output share the layer's point budget, so merging several drawings never scans more points than one drawing would. Unwired Draw nodes don't use any.
Over a canvas, Backspace and Delete edit the drawing instead of deleting the node.
Right-click a Draw layer and choose Extract to Node Graph to move its drawing into a Draw node, with Progress, Trail, and the other settings carried over.
