Some nodes can work with many different types of data. For example, the Scale node can scale Reals, 2D Points, 3D Points, or 4D Points. The Changed node can input a Text value, an Image, a Color, or many other types of data.
When using nodes that are flexible about the type of data they can work with, you can choose the data type that you need for your composition.
To see the data types that a port can be changed to, right-click on the port and look at the
submenu. (Only ports with changeable types have a submenu.)
Changed in Vuo 2.0The Set Data Type menu now appears for all changeable data types, not just generic data types. You no longer need to change the data type back to generic before changing it to a different type.
