Node reference

Frame

Add Node → Compose → Frame

A Frame is a coloured box you draw behind your nodes, to label and group a section of your canvas — a shot, a scene, a round of exploration. It’s purely visual: it has no handles, doesn’t connect to anything, and doesn’t change how your nodes generate. It’s just there to keep things readable.

What’s on the frame

Area What it does
Label Click it to select the frame, double-click to rename. The name also tags anything generated inside it.
Colour dot Click to change the frame’s colour.
Edges and corners Drag an edge to move the frame, and every node inside comes with it. Grab a corner to resize.
Handles None. A frame carries no data and connects to nothing — you can drag straight through its middle without selecting it.

Adding one

The easiest way is to select a few nodes and choose Create Frame — it wraps them in a box sized to fit. You can also add an empty frame from Add Node → Compose → Frame, or right-click the canvas and pick Compose → Frame, which drops it where you clicked.

A Frame and a Workflow answer the same impulse — this lot belongs together — in opposite ways. A Frame draws a box around the nodes and leaves them where they are; a Workflow folds them away behind a single node. Reach for a Frame when you still want to see the graph.

Using it

Click the label to select the frame, and double-click to rename it. Click the coloured dot to change its colour. Drag any of its edges to move it — and moving a frame brings every node inside it along. Grab a corner to resize it.

You can click and drag right through the middle of a frame without selecting it, so it never gets in the way while you’re working on the nodes inside.

It labels your media too

Anything generated inside a frame picks up the frame’s label in your Media Library. Call a frame “Hero shots,” generate some images inside it, and they’ll all carry a matching “Hero shots” tag you can filter by later.
