This paves the way for other vector data like shapes and text to soon be converted into nodes and composited alongside images. -- _Instant Iterations:_ Incremental graph compilation avoids recompiling the +- Instant iterations: Incremental graph compilation avoids recompiling the whole graph each time an edit is made or a value changes.
