Every node has an example patch which you can open from the nodes panel and try out right away ;)

Hello Zoltan,
Actualy, is there any source like this ?
https://infostyle.jp/wire/unofficial-document.html

A short decription of exactly what each node does or input variables, output variables for each node,... ext
Like Handbook of the Node programming language of resolume wire.
Thanks

We think trying out the nodes is the fastest way to learn about them, so we prefer the example patches over online texts.
We also have great tutorial videos on our youtube channel about nodes: https://www.youtube.com/@ResolumeVJSoftware/playlists

I created an account just to comment on this post. I've rarely seen a better example of a developer living in a bubble than this single comment.

Example patches are a great supplement, but having to stop what you're doing, open a different file entirely (Wire being unable to have two patches open at once really doesn't help), just to read some scattered Comment nodes...it's a disruption as much as an aid. There's zero reason official documentation can't exist, as the linked site shows.

I completely agree that there's a need for better documentation besides the examples. As it has been mentioned, only being able to open one Wire patch at a time really affects the usability of the examples and the overall Wire workflow.

Oh, I am sorry guys. I posted the wrong link! this is the database of all the different notes in Wire that he made but if you check out this link it will give you screenshots of all the different reference manuals.

https://www.2fourk.com/wire-tools/wire-reference-libary

And here he collected some snippets of wire patches, which you can just copy and paste into wire, which saves you quite a bit of time doing repeating functions.

hope this helps
