[Bf-funboard] World And Object Context For Custom Node Trees?

[Bassam Kurdali]

If you click on the edit source in the right click menu there, you will
find your self at line 45 of space_node.py
you're in the the draw function of NODE_HT_header, so I'm guessing you
can make a draw function to append/prepend there, similar to the lines
from 43 to 45 in space_node.py, that can use some other property
(probably defined by you) to specify a 'context' for your own node
trees... 
so something like:

def my_draw_code(self, context):
    """ add extra buttons to header """
    layout = self.layout
    # code to add your buttons/selectors for context here
    ...

bpy.types.NODE_HT_header.append(my_draw_code)  # somewhere in the
register function of your exporter

afaik you can append or prepend, but you can't jam the buttons in the
middle (sadly) so it won't show up in the same place as it does for
cycles shaders.
Hope that helps
