The AG's Tools | AG Backdrop Tools v2.0

Hello !
I created this small package because I couldn’t find a backdrop tool that fully met my needs.

The tool is divided into three steps:

1. Base Backdrop Creation
The first window is dedicated to creating the base backdrop. You can choose between a filled or border-only backdrop. All available colors are automatically based on node types, ensuring visual consistency. You can also create separator bars to better organize your node graph.

2. Backdrop Fine-Tuning
The second window allows you to fine-tune your backdrops. You can resize them using a feature inspired by Maya’s Get/Set Texel Density, making scaling fast and intuitive. You can also change colors, including a custom color option, along with several additional controls for precise adjustments.

3. Position & Size Adjustments
Finally, you can adjust the backdrop’s size and position using the arrow keys — easily the most useful feature in my opinion — for quick and accurate layout tweaks directly in the node graph.

INSTALLATION

• Put the folder "AG_Backdrop_Tools" in your .nuke folder
• Put both files menu.py and init.py in the .nuke folder OR copy/paste the content of both files in your existing menu.py and init.py

I hope you're gonna like it.
