checkerboardNodes v1.1

This tool will 'checkerboard' your selected nodes:-

if you have brought in a lot of read nodes and press 'L' they all line up in a nice row but you cant read the names as they'll overlap.

Select your nodes in order and use 'checkerboard Y' and every other node will move up or down, making it easy to see what you have.

('Checkerboard X' will do the same for vertically aligned nodes, but I'm not sure it's of any real use, just included for completeness)

v1.1 will auto layout the nodes first before checkerboarding so you dont need to press l first.

Also it now checkerboards in 3's as I found with very long names they still overlap so this keeps the clear for the most part

In menu.py add something like...

1
2
3
4

m = toolbar.addMenu("Python") #chnage this to menu of choice
 
m.addCommand('checkerboard X', 'nuke.load("checkerboardNodes"), checkerboardNodes("x")')
m.addCommand('checkerboard Y', 'nuke.load("checkerboardNodes"), checkerboardNodes()')
