Sampling values from layers
This is an introduction to the more advanced layer value sampling features introduced in 1.3.1, allowing you to generate more complex dynamic patterns and designs based on images, gradients or other layers. This video gives you a quick introduction and some examples, or you can read more details below Apply layer node The easiest way
-
Version 1.3.1 released
This is a follow-up update that fixes some regression bugs from the 1.3 update and improves some of the new features added there. The update also bring one new very powerful feature in the shape of the Value from layer and Color from layer input nodes, that allow you to sample values and colors from

Color gradients
This is an introduction to the color gradient features added in update 1.3. This video below gives you a quick introduction and some examples.

Basics – Node Apply to modes
Individual shapes and other objects in layers are referred to as elements in Paragraphic (See Basics – Layers and Elements). Elements can be created and repeated in various patterns by nodes (see Basics – Repeaters), but they can also be modified. For example changing their color, or applying transformations like rotating or scaling them. This
