The V-Ray Graph node component is a curve editor that remaps the numeric input values to an output, based on an advanced curve function. Unlike the standard Grasshopper Graph Mapper, this curve editor allows the use of multiple bezier point controls with custom tangents. It can be combined with the V-Ray Timeline component for a powerful animation workflow.

The V-Ray Graph node component serves to overcome the limitation of the native Grasshopper nodes components allowing for better animation controls.
