advPlot merge

advPlot merge is the glue node for tinyterra's plot generators: it takes the output of two generators - say one range axis and one string axis - and merges them into a single plot_text you can feed into the advanced xyPlot. It's the node that lets you build a real multi-axis grid out of pieces instead of hand-assembling the syntax.

Each generator node (range, string, combo) produces one axis: a numbered <1:v_label> line plus its [nodeid:widget='value'] entries. A proper XY plot wants an X axis and a Y axis, and while you can run two generators and copy-paste their text into the main node's x_plot and y_plot boxes, merge is for when you want that assembled programmatically - or when you're combining more than one generator per axis (a range plus a string, say) and need them merged into a single axis block.

How it works

It takes plot_text1 and plot_text2 (both optional wired STRING inputs) and merges them axis-by-axis by line number. The mechanism is a straight splice: for each axis number present in either input, it emits the axis header plus that axis's value lines from whichever input(s) contain it. The result is a single plot_text STRING with renumbered axes, ready for the advanced xyPlot's x_plot / y_plot / z_plot.

label_type (Values / Title and Values / ID, Title and Values) sets the label style for the merged output, applied uniformly - so if your two sources used different label styles, the merge normalizes them to whatever you pick here.

Output: plot_text, the merged STRING. Unlike the other generators it's not an output node, so it doesn't render its own UI display - wire it into the xyPlot and check there.

Installing it

Part of tinyterraNodes:

cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
git clone https://github.com/TinyTerra/ComfyUI_tinyterraNodes.git

or ComfyUI Manager → tinyterraNodes. No extra dependencies.

Gotchas

The renumbering is where it gets you: the merge renumbers by position, not by your original axis numbers, so if the two inputs both contained an axis 1, the merged output has axis 1 and axis 2 in sequence - which is the point, but it means the axis numbers in the final text no longer match the source generators' numbering. Also, because it's a line-number splice, if the two inputs have wildly different axis lengths, the shorter one's values just don't appear for axes the other doesn't have - no error, just a shorter plot. If you're only merging to hand a combined axis to the main node, you could equally paste the two generator outputs into one x_plot box by hand; merge earns its keep when you want it done on every graph run without copy-paste.
