Overview
An organizational node that names branch points for variant creation. Split one
input into named lines such as "Option A" and "Option B", process them separately,
then gather and compare them downstream with value_select. The graph clearly
communicates that candidate branches begin here.
Usage tips
- The basic pattern is shared upstream → line_branch (name each line) → different
processing on each branch → select one with
value_select. Names preserve the intent when you revisit the graph later. Line Countranges from 2 to 8. Counts above 3 revealline_4throughline_8in order, all using the selected output type.value_selectkeeps the original line name when every node between it and Line Branch forms a one-input, one-output processing chain. If that path merges or branches again, it displays the immediate source node's name instead.- Functionally, plain branching wires can do the same thing. This is a readability node that makes the candidate-comparison structure explicit.
