13 | Basics Windows and Editors Reference > Hypergraph overview Note The dependency graph and scene hierarchy display animated nodes as slanted boxes. If you animate a node with an expression, it displays a regular rectangle rather than a slanted box. All other animation techniques display a slanted box. Specifically, a slanted box indicates Ball has a param curve connected to it. Example Keyframe the translateX attribute of a NURBS sphere named Ball. If you select Ball's transform node and display all Input and Output Connections, this graph appears: The slanted box indicates Ball's transform node has been animated. The graph doesn't indicate which type of animation technique controls the attribute. Connection line colors The connection lines are color-coded to indicate the type of attribute that is connecting the nodes. In this case, attribute types are single, double, triple, data, and array. See the following table for an explanation. Default Color Attribute Type Example Attributes Blue Single transform.translateX, makeNurbsSphere.radius Cyan Double file.repeatUV, cameraShape.cameraAperature Green Triple transform.translate, lambert.color Magenta Data nurbsSurface.create, makeNurbsSphere.outputSurface Red Array particleShape.position, particleShape.velocity You can change these default colors in the Colors window (Window > Settings/Preferences > Colors).
