Your New Flow

Giraffe creates a new flow definition. Its flow graph starts with one read feature node and one write features node.

Your flow will be assigned a (we think) fun name that is a combination of a random adjective and animal. Enjoy!

Or, rename the flow to something more descriptive.

Add more nodes to the flow graph and connect them with wires. Giraffe saves changes to the flow definition automatically.

Add the flow to a geometry from the properties palette.
