Triangle Wave
Menu Path : Operator > Math > Wave > Triangle Wave
The Triangle Wave Operator allows you to generate a value which linearly oscillates between a minimum and a maximum value based on a provided input and a set frequency.
If Frequency is set to 1, the blue dot gos in a straight line from Min to Max and back to Min in the span on Input going from 0 to 1.
You can use this Operator to directly move between any two values, for example moving particles up and down. If you set Min to 0 and Max to 1, you can use this alongside the Lerp Operator to interpolate between any two values, like positions or colors.
Operator properties
| Input | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Input | Configurable | The value this Operator evaluates to generate the output value. |
| Frequency | Configurable | The rate at which the Input value moves between Min and Max. Larger values make the wave repeat itself more. |
| Min | Configurable | The minimum value that Out can be. |
| Max | Configurable | The maximum value that Out can be. |
| Output | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Out | Matches Input | The value this Operator generates between Min and Max based the Input and Frequency. |
