Tutorial 16: Hide Nodes and Lock Patches
Channel: v4tutorial
Date: 23/12/2009

First we will make a vvvv patch, so I have something to demonstrate the power of hidden nodes and locked patches, it is going to be a very cool sinus wave, made from some pillows.
You can lock a lock/unlock a patch with CTRL-E, the # sign on the to left in the patch will tell you if it is locked or not.  Using CTRL-H (hide) on nodes and connections, will change them to a lighter grey, and when you lock a patch, the hidden nodes are really hidden. 
This is an easy way to make other people use your work. It doesn't replace a real GUI, but when you are in hurry, it might just work great.
