Great explanation and useful file for visualising the effect of nodes. Still have no idea how you created the file though!

@Ed Hoare On the page where the file is uploaded I wrote down some explanation of how it is set up. Just scroll down here: https://cloud.blender.org/p/procedural-shading/5f075c60f11c51bf02b95fa1

I created the same group but I am not able to see the graph.

*@Mohammed Suhaib Affan* When you load this file, you should be able to directly see the graph without having to change anything. And when you follow what I am doing in the video exactly, you should see the same result. Can you upload a screenshot of your setup and viewport, so I can maybe see where the problem is?

*@Simon Thommes* Thank you for your reply, I thought of trying with latest blender version, I was just trying to make the node group which you showed in the video. Let me try in the latest version I am using now 2.9, earlier I was having 2.81a.

How can I create this blue/red grid plane which is used for visualization? I didn't find a way to turn it on/off...

This is a very cool video and I very much appreciate the introduction to the gradient theory. I would love to see a video or walkthrough on how you built the gradient tool there.

I copied your nodes from this video but it seems you may have some sort of 2D, high-res lattice for the showing the displacement maybe?

Thanks for the instruction!
