System for Nodes Displaying Gizmos to Update Their Parameters
Title: Generic Gizmo System for Graphite Problem: Graphite currently has 6 separate shape-specific gizmo handlers (Circle, Star, Polygon, Arc, Grid, Spiral), each with duplicated code for hover detection, drag handling, and overlay rendering. Solution: A unified, data-driven gizmo system with three components: Registry — Declarative mapping of node parameters to gizmo types Generic Gizmos — Reusable components (Slider, Dial, Angle) that work with any compatible parameter Manager — Auto-instantiates gizmos based on registry lookup Deliverables: 3 generic gizmo types (SliderGizmo, DialGizmo, AngleGizmo) All 6 existing shapes migrated to the new system Old handlers removed, reducing code duplication Developer documentation for extending to new nodes
