Junctions
A junction is a representation of a property in a node. Each junction has its own data type and connection compatibility is based on its type. In the graph panel, holding Shift while hovering on the junction will show the content inside it.

Type Compatibility
Junctions of the same type are always compatible to each other. However there're also cross type compatibility as well.

1 Surface will be converted to vector2 representing its dimension.
Struct Type
Mesh, Armature and Particle type can be connected to Struct type but not the opposite.
3D Types
d3Mesh, d3Light, d3Camera, and d3Scene are all connectable both ways.
Node Inclusivity
Node type can't be connect to any other type including the Any type.
