By decreasing the size of a formula node, code can be hidden without indication.

 

Example:

 

Before resizing:

After resizing, for example:

 

My idea is to either

Your image links are broken.

Thank you altenbach, i have already "kudoed" your idea. In my opinion, your idea presents an nice additional way of including textual source code within labview. However, due to its simplicity and for backward-compatibility reasons i would prefer to still have the classical script nodes available - with my minor modification suggestions implemented.

 

Unfortunately i am neither able to edit my original post, nor place an image in a comment. The button "Browse" for selecting a local image file for upload shows no effect (Win7 IE9/Firefox16).
