VL Templates

When creating a VL node from vvvv beta you have the choice between two available templates for cloning them via Ctrl + Leftclick

  • Template (Value)
  • Template (Value Stateless)

Cloning either creates a new .vl document. The first template then creates a ProcessDefinition in that document while the stateless template creates an OperationDefinition with the given name, category and version.

Make VL nodes show up in vvvv beta

So cloning a template creates a new .vl document and one nodefinition (process or operation). In order to make additional nodes created in vl show up in vvvv beta, they must be:

  • non-generic
  • in the category VVVV

and either:

  • an OperationDefinition
  • a ProcessDefinition with ProcessNode enabled
