Used to retrieve a String from the pin at the specified slice.

Used to set the SubType of a String pin, which is a more detailed specification of the String, used by the GUI to guide the user to insert correct values. Note though that this does not prevent a user from setting "wrong" Strings on a pin. Ultimately each node is responsible for dealing with all possible inputs correctly. Should only be called once immediately after the pin has been created in IPlugin.SetPluginHost.

Alternative version to IStringIn.SetSubType() with more options.

Specifies whether the pin is connected in the patch or not.

The pins name.

The order property helps the node to arrange its pins visually. The higher the order, the more right the pin appears on the node.

Returns whether any slice of this pin has been changed in the current frame. This information is typically used to determine if further processing is needed or can be ommited.

Gets the plugin host which created this plugin io.

The pins SliceCount specifies the number of Values (2D Vector, String...) it carries. This is like the length of an array or list.

Returns a String of the pins concatenated Values. Typcally used internally only to save a pins state to disk.
