Linear Space
What It Does
Generates a sequence of evenly spaced numbers between a start and end value. It divides the interval into equal steps, creating a uniform progression from the first to the last value.
Inputs
| Name | Description | Type | Required |
|---|---|---|---|
| start | The first value in the sequence | Number | No |
| stop | The last value in the sequence | Number | No |
| length | The number of values to generate | Number | No |
| precision | Number of decimal places to round to | Number | No |
Outputs
| Name | Description | Type |
|---|---|---|
| array | The sequence of evenly spaced values | List |
How to Use It
- Drag the Linear Space node into your graph.
- Set the "start" value (default is 0).
- Set the "stop" value (default is 1).
- Set the "length" to specify how many values you want (default is 5).
- Set the "precision" for decimal rounding (default is 2).
- Run the graph—with the default settings, your output will be [0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1].
Tips
- The sequence always includes both the start and stop values.
- For reversed sequences, set start higher than stop.
- If length is 1, the output will be an array with just the start value.
