You can expand the things that Vuo can do, or save yourself the work of creating the same composition pieces over and over, by adding nodes to your Node Library.
Third-party developers have created nodes that you can download
and install. Once you’ve downloaded a node
(.vuonode
file), you can install it with the
following steps.
First, place the node in one of Vuo’s Modules folders. The easiest way to find these folders is, in Vuo Editor, to go to the
menu and choose the option you want:
Or, if you’d rather find the folder yourself: In your home folder, go to Library/Application Support/Vuo/Modules. (On Mac OS X 10.7 and above, the Library folder is hidden by default. To find it, go to Finder, then hold down the Option key and select the menu option.)
Or, if you’d rather find the folder yourself: In the top-level folder on your hard drive, go to Library/Application Support/Vuo/Modules.
You’ll typically want the User Modules folder, since yours will be the only user account on your computer that needs access to the node. Use the second option only if you have administrative access and you want all users on the computer to have access to the node.
Second, restart the Vuo Editor. The node should now show up in your Node Library.
Programmers can use Vuo’s API to create new nodes for Vuo. See Developing Node Classes and Types for Vuo.
