Grasshopper

algorithmic modeling for Rhino

I have long been frustrated with the unability to leave comments in my patches for others or even myself for when I come back to something later.

Till now I left Panels with text inside everywhere, but it was just totally messy and not pretty.

So now I have come up with a slightly better solution - using the description of an empty cluster.

I just made a cluster from a panel, this gives you a cluster with no input and output. I selected a sensible icon, set the NickName to "Help" and can now duplicate the cluster (copy/paste then right-click > Disentangle) and edit the description. 

Now you can just hover over the " ! " and get instant comments.

What do you think? (it doesnt show the cursor in the screenshot, but its hovering over the " ! " in the top left). Shame you cant disable the preview of the cluster contents, then it would be perfect.

Oh yeah and David in case you are reading this. Could you fix it so that when resizing the "Cluster Properties" window, the Description box gets larger and not the Address box.

Thanks ;)
