Dispatcher

Used to schedule the execution of a network of TaskNodes.

user

Container for user-defined plugs. Nodes should never make their own plugs here, so users are free to do as they wish.

framesMode

Determines the active frame range to be dispatched as follows :

  • CurrentFrame uses the current timeline frame only.
  • FullRange uses the outer handles of the timeline (i.e. the full range of the script).
  • CustomRange uses a user defined range, as specified by the frameRange plug.

frameRange

The frame range to be used when framesMode is “CustomRange”.

jobName

A descriptive name for the job.

jobsDirectory

A directory to store temporary files used by the dispatcher.
