The dialog allows you to customize the node before you create it.
The descriptions of each property are as follows:

• Name - The node name
• Type - The node type, there are 2 types of node. One is discrete and the other is continuous. The node type affects the node probability.
• ID - The unique id of the node in current project. There can have same node id in other project.
• Dimension - The dimension of the node. Multiple dimensions are allowed in bayonet network. Similar nodes can be grouped as one node for convinences.
• Description - The description of the node.
• Node Position - The initial position and size of the node
  • x - The x position of the node
  • y - The y position of the node
  • width - The width of the node
