The palette contains all of the built-in nodes, which are organized into categories, or drawers. A drawer is a container for a list of icons, such as the Favorites drawer. You can drag the nodes that you use most often into the Favorites drawer for easy access. If you create your own nodes, you can also add them to the palette. You can drag a node from the palette onto the canvas, and create a connection between two nodes.
If you right-click the palette, you can add a selected node to the canvas, or customize the appearance and behavior of the palette. The following example shows the palette in List view, using small icons.
The Customize Palette dialog box allows you to reorder node categories, set the drawer behavior for individual categories, and rename or hide nodes or categories.
You cannot move any category above the Favorites category. You can hide the Favorites category, but you cannot delete or rename it.
The Palette Settings dialog box allows you to set the palette layout, determine the behavior of palette drawers, and choose a particular font.
