The Canvas

The canvas is your workspace for viewing and building node graphs.

Navigation

• Pan with middle mouse button drag, or hold Space + left mouse drag
• Zoom with the scroll wheel
• Select by left-clicking a node. Shift+click adds to selection. Drag to box-select
• Move selected nodes by dragging them

Modes

GraphDeck supports multiple node systems. Switch between them using the mode strip at the top of the window:

• Blueprints: Unreal Engine Blueprint visual scripting (full pipeline: generate, deploy, enrich)
• Materials: Unreal Engine Material editor graphs (full pipeline: generate, deploy, enrich)
• Widgets: UMG event graphs with a live widget preview on the canvas (generate, paste into the UMG Designer)
• More coming: additional node-based systems on the way

Each mode loads its own node library and uses the appropriate rendering style. Blueprints and Materials have full end-to-end support including AI generation, one-click deploy, and project enrichment. Widgets adds a floating live preview of your widget hierarchy that updates as the graph changes.
