Function

Shows the positions of a field.

Syntax

output = ShowPositions(input);

Inputs

Name	Type	Default	Description
input	field	none	field whose positions are to be shown
every	scalar	1.0	factor used to reduce the number of positions shown

Outputs

Name	Type	Description
output	color field	renderable positions of input field

Functional Details

This module creates an output field that shows the positions of a specified input.

input	specifies the object whose positions are to be shown.
every	determines the relative number of input positions shown in the output. By default, all positions are shown. The multiplicand used is the reciprocal of the parameter value (e.g., given a value of 2, the output shows half the positions in the input).

Notes:

1. If the input object lacks a "colors" component, the module adds a default color to the output.
2. Position-dependent color and data components are passed to the output.

Components

Adds a "colors" component if the input does not already have one. All input components, except "connections," are propagated to the output. Invalid positions are not passed through to the output.

Example Visual Programs
