The Inspector node is an important one! Use the Inspector for debugging

Outputs

None

How to

1. Connect Inspector to the output of node you want to inspect.

   To see a result, you also need to turn on “View Evaluated Flow for Selected features” in the top toolbar (The glasses icon).

1. View the Results

   The Inspector writes the code for any features or the results of any functions resulting from the node(s) prior to the inspector.

   With the Inspector selected, you can:

   • use ctrl + f to search
   • collapse sections with the far left carats
   • Copy all or some text using ctrl + c

   You cannot edit results from the inspector. This is a read-only node. It does not perform any functions on features or data.

Example Use Case

Use inspector to capture “hard code” text for dendrogram transforms.

1. Place the dendrogram transform node. Connect it to the inspector

   

2. Copy all of the code from the Inspector. Delete the dendrogram transform node.

3. Place a panel node. Paste the copied code into the Panel

4. Connect the panel to the Transform input of the dendrogram node.

   

This hides the transform inputs from the Properties panel, meaning all parameters are controlled by the flow, rather than being parametric to the end user.
