Merge

Takes two frame inputs and outputs them as a single combined frame. The paths from both inputs are concatenated: Frame A's paths followed by Frame B's paths.

Inputs

AFrameFirst frame
BFrameSecond frame

Ideas

  • Layer a Circle with a Star to build a composite shape from simple parts.
  • Combine separately-colored shapes: colorize each one independently, then merge.
  • Build complex scenes step by step: merge pairs of shapes, then merge the results together.

Tips

  • Both inputs are frame-typed. You can chain multiple Merge nodes to combine more than two shapes.
  • The merged frame preserves the path order: A's paths come first, then B's. This can affect scanner optimization.
  • Duplicator: copies of the same frame with transforms
  • Output: final transform for the combined result
