Welcome to smartLink's documentation!
=====================================
smartLink provides node linking and an advanced node navigation system for Nuke.
It lets you create representations of all your nodes in your node graph
and lets you easily navigate between these. You can create as many links for a
node as you like. This workflow results in the big advantage that you need to
read in your data just once and can reference it down the line. This keeps your
composites flexible and reduces errors.

smartLink simplifies navigating your nodegraph so that you can concentrate on
the creative parts of your compositings.

smartLink is highly customizable. You can assign your own shortcuts and set up
the smartlinker to your needs. In addition it offers a custom backdrop manager
to keep your node graph neat and clean.
