How to use Bar Chart Generator node in Oraphim

Type ID: motion.chart.bar
Category: Generator

What this node does

The Bar Chart Generator node is registered in Oraphim's Generator category and performs the graph operation represented by its sockets and controls below.

The current Oraphim runtime registers 5 sockets and 9 properties for this node. Its main registered inputs are Color, Data; its main outputs are Geometry, Metadata, Color. The tables below are generated from the runtime registry rather than a handwritten approximation.

Inputs

Socket	Key	Type
Color	in_color	Image
Data	in_data	Metadata

Outputs

Socket	Key	Type
Geometry	out_geometry	Geometry3D
Metadata	out_metadata	Metadata
Color	out_color	Image

Controls

Control	Key	Type	Group	Registry default
Title	title	String	Data	0.0
Data JSON	dataJson	String	Data	0.0
Max Value	maxValue	Float	Data	100.0
Bar Width	barWidth	Float	Layout	132.0
Bar Spacing	barSpacing	Float	Layout	54.0
Corner Radius	cornerRadius	Float	Style	18.0
Show Grid	showGrid	Bool	Style	1.0
Show Values	showValues	Bool	Style	1.0
Show Labels	showLabels	Bool	Style	1.0

How to use it

1. Add Bar Chart Generator from node search. Use motion.chart.bar when you need the exact registry entry.
2. Connect a compatible Image source to Color. Add the other inputs only when the operation needs them.
3. Start with the registry defaults and adjust Title, Data JSON, Max Value first so you can see the node's effect in isolation.
4. Route Geometry (Geometry3D) into a compatible downstream node, viewer, or output path.
5. Preview a representative frame, change one input/control at a time, and save/reopen reusable graphs to verify persistence.

Practical example

Create a small test graph with Bar Chart Generator. Feed a compatible source into Color. Change Title away from its registry default and compare the result. Connect Geometry to a compatible downstream stage so the result is visible. Keeping this test graph small makes socket-type, context, and parameter mistakes easier to diagnose before the node is used in a production graph.

Troubleshooting

• If a connection is rejected, compare the exact socket data types in the tables above; Oraphim graph connections are typed.
• If the result looks unchanged, confirm this node is on the active path to the viewer/output and that the expected graph/resource is selected.
• If a control is unavailable, check required inputs and whether the property belongs to an internal or mode-dependent group.
• If a saved graph behaves differently later, reopen it and verify node identity, connections, and edited property values before rendering.
