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.
