Index Array Example

How to Use It

  1. Drag the Index Array node into your graph.

  2. Connect an array (like [Red, Green, Blue]) to the "array" input.

  3. Set the "index" value (default is 0, which returns the first item).

  4. The output will be the value at that position (e.g., with index 1, the output would be "Green").

Tips

  • Array indexes start at 0, so the first item is at index 0, the second at index 1, etc.

  • If you use a negative index, it counts backward from the end (-1 is the last item).

  • Slice: For extracting a range of items from an array.

Use Cases
