Are there any nodes in Xpresso that will output data from a linked node to a text file or the screen. It would be really usefull to see what data a certain node is outputing.

just either add a "result" node, or a spy node, or if you prefer the output window use a coffee node and use a bit of code something like

main ()
{
Println(input1);
}

The internal development version of ditools (0.99) now contains a node that can print on screen. There is also a node that print object information on screen like polygon count coordinates etc.
I don't know when it will be availlable. I do know Remotion is working real hard on it and is adding wonderfull stuff everytime.

Link the output to the "text" input of a text spline. Make that textspline a child of the camera - for example.

cheers,

Thanks people. I was thinking of doing something like you said Comanche, but felt it is a bit to intensive to do regularly. Could make a script to do it I suppose...
