Portals
Overview
The Portal nodes enable re-use and improve structuring of graph nodes.
Detailed Explanation
When using Portal nodes, we always need an input and output node.
The Input Portal accepts a node as input, which we can name and use in an Output Portal of the same type.
We can even have multiple Output Portals that reference the same Input Portal.
Additionally these Portal nodes can also be used across different graphs to enable reusability.
Parameters (Input Portal)

| Input | Type of the Portal | Provides the values to operate on. |
Controls
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Name | string | The name that this Portal will be referenced by. |
Parameters (Output Portal)
Controls
| Name | Type | Description |

| Elastic Node Graph | ElasticNodeGraph | The Input Portal's graph. |

Use Cases
Re-use of previously generated output
This example shows that multiple Output Portal nodes can be created from the same Input Portal.
