Smart Geometry + Flow Builder Video Use Case
A dendrogram is a diagram that depicts hierarchical relationships. A dendrogram is often used to assign objects to groups.
The flow builder in Giraffe uses dendrogram assumptions to create an intuitive interface to generate complex algorithms. Transforms branch from the initiating geometry. And branch again. One shape becomes many. And the designer can visually track the inputs and outputs in an intuitive node-based editor.
Draw a shape on the map.
Then, with that shape selected, click “Open Flow Builder” to start building a flow.
Select a basic Transform from the list. Options vary based on if the base geometry is a closed polygon or a line.
Access some pre-made flows right from the drawing bar! Just click the lightning bolt.
With the map geometry selected, click “Open Flow Builder” in the properties palette

A Transform is an algorithm designed to be used in the Flow builder. It is a set of instructions used to edit a source geometry. Each transform has settings and parameters that can be customised. Transforms can be used alone or together as part of a flow.
