User_data_attributes

rightUser data attributes and column mapping

If there are any column names in the node data section of the .son file which sonia does not recognize, it will show the column mapper dialog before importing the file. The dilaog has two parts.

The upper half is a list of all the attributes in sonia with popup menus listing the normal column name plus the unknown column names in the file. Setting one of these will map the contents of that column to the attribute, assuming the data are in the right form.

The lower half shows a list of all the input column names in the file, each with a checkbox in the column "attach to node as user data?" The data from each checked column will be added to the node event as a user data attribute. These can be peeked at (and modified) using the inspector panel, or used to control the color of nodes using a [Color_mapping].
