Displayable

Two families that apply to every widget type: the Displayable geometry and appearance nodes, and the visible / enabled pair each built-in widget repeats. The rules that govern all Element nodes — when the palette offers one, and how a missing target fails — are in Element.

Displayable

These take the generic element pin, so they accept a reference to any displayable element instead of one widget type. Coordinates are the Surface's design coordinates — the same numbers the inspector shows. Opacity is a single effective value: an Appearance Variant's transformOpacity resolves into it, an nl.image Variant's changed fillOpacity resolves into it, and Get Element Property, Set Element Property and Animate Element Property all touch that one number.

Seven readers at the end of this section — position, size, bounds, rotation, opacity, visible and variant — are superseded by Get Element Property and hidden from the palette. They stay registered so blueprints that already contain them keep running. They are documented because you will meet them in old graphs, not because you should add one.

The Self forms of all of these live in Displayable.

Get Element Property

blueprint.element.displayable.getProperty · Pure

The reader to use. Pick the property on the card and the value pin carries it.

On-card fields

Set Element Property

blueprint.element.displayable.setProperty · Latent

Writes one runtime property on the target. variant is deliberately absent from the list — Variants go through Set Element Variant.

On-card fields

Animate Element Property

blueprint.element.displayable.animateProperty · Latent

Starts a property tween. The animation token is written out the moment the animation starts; next fires once the animation finishes on its own or is cut short by Stop Element Animation. It is a property node, not an effect library — build Fade or Shake on top of it as a macro.

On-card fields

Stop Element Animation

blueprint.element.displayable.stopAnimation · Latent

The one node in this category with no element target: the token already identifies one animation on one element. It stops exactly that animation and lets the Animate Element Property waiting on it reach next early. A missing value, a value that is not an AnimationToken, or a token that is no longer pending is a silent no-op. Because it needs no binding, it is also the only Element node the palette offers unconditionally.

Set Element Variant

blueprint.element.displayable.setVariant · Latent

Sets the runtime Appearance Variant override. There is no variantId pin and no way to type an id: once the wired reference makes the target statically knowable, the card lists that element's own Variants by name and stores the internal UUID as a hidden value. A second card field, Wait For Animation, chooses between continuing immediately and waiting for the longest field transition on the chosen Variant. Running it against an element that does not support Appearance Variants raises an execution error rather than doing nothing.

It also clears any earlier runtime opacity override, letting the Variant decide the opacity — which is why switching to a transparent Variant and then animating opacity from 0 to 100 enters from that transparent state instead of sticking at zero.

Get Element Display

blueprint.element.displayable.getDisplay · Pure

Reads the runtime render switch, which defaults to true.

Set Element Display

blueprint.element.displayable.setDisplay · Latent

false applies CSS display: none to the element and its subtree while leaving it mounted in the Surface element tree. It is not visible: that remains a layout and visibility property, reached through Get Element Property / Set Element Property.

Get Element Measured Rect

blueprint.element.displayable.getMeasuredRect · Pure

Where the element actually ended up, measured from what was painted rather than read off the document. Get Element Property with the bounds key answers from the authored layout plus its runtime patches, so it answers even for an element nothing has drawn yet; this one measures the real box.

Get Element Center

blueprint.element.displayable.getCenter · Pure

The centre of that measured rect. The same measurement Move Mouse To Element aims at, for when the graph wants the point rather than the move.

Get Element Position

blueprint.element.displayable.getPosition · Pure

Reads the layout position as a Vector2D in design coordinates.

Get Element Size

blueprint.element.displayable.getSize · Pure

Reads width and height as a Vector2D.

Get Element Bounds

blueprint.element.displayable.getBounds · Pure

Reads { x, y, width, height } in one object.

Get Element Rotation

blueprint.element.displayable.getRotation · Pure

Reads the visual rotation in degrees.

Get Element Opacity

blueprint.element.displayable.getOpacity · Pure

Reads the effective opacity as 0..1.

Get Element Visible

blueprint.element.displayable.getVisible · Pure

Reads the visible property — not display.

Get Element Variant

blueprint.element.displayable.getVariant · Pure

Reads the active Variant's internal UUID. Nothing in the current editor asks an author to handle that id, which is why the whole id-based Variant path is retired.

Visible and Enabled

Eight widget types carry the same four nodes: read and write visible, read and write enabled. They are Button, Container, Frame, Image, List, Slider, Switch and Text — nl.textInput is the one built-in with no Element pair, and is reached through Get Element Property / Set Element Property instead. Each takes a target pin typed to its own widget, so which four the palette offers depends on which widget types the graph binds. Set … Enabled mapped to false goes through the renderer's interaction-disable path; the node surface deliberately never exposes interactionDisabled.

To hide an element without unmounting it, reach for Set Element Display instead — visible and display are different switches, and only display collapses the subtree.
