Oz_Backdrop

autoBackdrop replacement with extra options

Features:

1. Special thanks to Hossein Karamian (hkaramian.com | ) for updating the code to work on Nuke 13 and Nuke 14.
2. Like 'F_Backdrop' it presents an immediate interface to change label, font size and position.
3. It allows to quickly select a random background color or choose between some presets.
4. It makes it easier to resize and shrink the backdrop.
5. There's a button to encompass selected nodes and leave an empty border around.
6. It reveals the position and size of the backdrop node allowing the creation of other similar shaped backdrops.
7. There's a script to replace all the old backdrop nodes in a script with enhanced backdrops. Find it in the 'Edit' menu.
   

Installation:

1. Add the 'oz_backdrop' folder to your python folder.
2. On your local menu.py add the following lines:

import nuke
nuke.pluginAddPath(./python/oz_backdrop)
