struct StageAn execution context within a compute node graph that groups related nodes into a processing phase. Stages define the order and purpose of computation passes. In particle systems, stages correspond to phases like emission, initialization, simulation, and output.
canAddNode(definition: ComputeNodeGraph_NodeDefinition): booleanfunc canAddNode(with definition: ComputeNodeGraph.NodeDefinition) -> BoolWhether a node with the given definition can be used in this stage. Use as a preflight check — for example, to enable a "drop here" target in a node-graph editor, or to filter a library down to definitions valid for a particular stage.
static get initialize(): ComputeNodeGraph_Stagestatic let initialize: ComputeNodeGraph.StageSets initial values for newly spawned particles.
static get eventSource(): ComputeNodeGraph_Stagestatic let eventSource: ComputeNodeGraph.StageA stage that receives events from a simulation (e.g. update or terminate), and initializes new particles for another simulation.
get name(): stringlet name: StringThe identifier for this stage
static get output(): ComputeNodeGraph_Stagestatic let output: ComputeNodeGraph.StageProduces final per-particle results for rendering.
static get compute(): ComputeNodeGraph_Stagestatic let compute: ComputeNodeGraph.StageA general-purpose computation stage.
static get texture(): ComputeNodeGraph_Stagestatic let texture: ComputeNodeGraph.StageGenerates texture data.
static get emission(): ComputeNodeGraph_Stagestatic let emission: ComputeNodeGraph.StageSpawns new particles into the system.
static get simulate(): ComputeNodeGraph_Stagestatic let simulate: ComputeNodeGraph.StageUpdates particle state each frame (position, velocity, lifetime, etc.).
static init(name: string): ComputeNodeGraph_Stageinit(_ name: String)No declarations were skipped in this snapshot.
