Geometric Series

What It Does

The Geometric Series node generates a sequence where each number is multiplied by a constant ratio. It creates exponential progressions perfect for scales that require accelerating or decelerating growth.

Inputs

Name	Description	Type	Required
Base	The central value of the series	Number	No
Steps Down	Number of steps to generate below the base value	Number	No
Steps Up	Number of steps to generate above the base value	Number	No
Ratio	The multiplier between consecutive values	Number	No
Precision	Number of decimal places for the output values	Number	No

Outputs

Name	Description	Type
Array	The resulting sequence of numbers	List
Indexed	Array of objects with index and value properties	List

How to Use It

1. Drag the Geometric Series node into your graph.

2. Set the "Base" value (default: 16) as the center point of your series.

3. Configure "Steps Down" (default: 0) and "Steps Up" (default: 1) to control series length.

4. Adjust the "Ratio" (default: 1.5) to set the multiplier between values.

Geometric Series Example

Tips

• With ratio > 1, values increase exponentially as you move up from the base.

• With ratio < 1 but > 0, values decrease exponentially as you move up from the base.

Use Cases

• Type Scales: Create font size systems with meaningful proportional relationships (8, 12, 18, 27, 40.5).

• Spacing Systems: Define spacing tokens with accelerating growth (4, 8, 16, 32, 64).

• Visual Hierarchy: Generate size scales that create clear visual distinctions between elements.
