DataStore

Stores data that will be saved to disk beside the Gaffer script, instead of stored inside the Gaffer serialisation. The next time the script is opened, the data will be deferred loaded when it is needed.

Appropriate for any large data associated with a Gaffer script ( for example, if you need to store primitive variable values on large meshes ).

Values are accessed using the setEntry/getEntry methods, and can also be read using regular plug evaluations.

user

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

selector

Chooses the entry to be output. Typically this will refer to a Context Variable using the ${variableName} syntax. The keys plug outputs all valid keys you might want to use here.

out

Outputs the entry corresponding to selector.

keys

Outputs all entry keys.
