Have you an idea of the use of Node "Loft" ?

---

Hi Karsten,

check this manual
http://moi.maxsm.net/api/#_CoordinateFrame

If you want to use frames as input data you can use this code:

function Line()
{
	this.addInput("Start","frame");
	this.addInput("End","frame");
	this.addOutput("Out","objectlist");
}
Line.title = "Line";
Line.desc = "Line";

Line.prototype.onExecute = function()
{
	var start = this.getInputData(0, moi.VectorMath.createFrame());
	var end = this.getInputData(1, moi.VectorMath.createFrame());
	var factory = moi.command.createFactory( 'line' );
	factory.setInput(0, start.origin);
	factory.setInput(1, end.origin);
	var output = factory.calculate();
	this.setOutputData(0, output);
	factory.cancel();
}
LiteGraph.registerNodeType("Factories/Line", Line);

but it will be better if you use points instead of frames

function Line()
{
	this.addInput("Start","point");
	this.addInput("End","point");
	this.addOutput("Out","objectlist");
}
Line.title = "Line";
Line.desc = "Line";

Line.prototype.onExecute = function()
{
	var start = this.getInputData(0, moi.VectorMath.createPoint());
	var end = this.getInputData(1, moi.VectorMath.createPoint());
	var factory = moi.command.createFactory( 'line' );
	factory.setInput(0, start);
	factory.setInput(1, end);
	var output = factory.calculate();
	this.setOutputData(0, output);
	factory.cancel();
}
LiteGraph.registerNodeType("Factories/Line", Line);

Hello Max,

thank You very much - I didn't know about ".origin" in the construct. But now everything makes sense.

Have a nice day
Karsten

@ Max
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! In all my trys I put "Loft" on start and not at the end! That was the trick! :)
Very cool that we can reload the entiere set of nodes!
That is parametric indeed! Bravo!

Just something curious all nodes titles are not translated !
I will investigate (i have not yet dowloaded your last version !)

---

@Max
Even with your last version v 0.23Alpha
Reloading the "loft.nod" file don't make appear translated French Tittles of the Nodes!
Internal lines are translated!
So Little Glitch;
French version is present as you can see!

---

It's not a glitch. When you create a node with English/French/Russian name it will be saved in a nod-file. When you load this file all names will be loaded as they stored.

---

@Max
But this persists when I resave it from my "French" version! ;)
So I must rename first all titles that is some painfull! :)
Or there is a little trick ?

NOT A PRIORITY PROBLEM !!! :)

---

But why translate it

---

< Why ...

For the beauty of the perfection! ;)

I am agree that is nothing but when it's "default" buttons that is better to see them in their local language! :)

Sure that is more coding at the start but ...that is not priority one! :)

I prefere have more functions than this very very little annoyous trouble! :)

---

Hello,

here is another try to implement a new node - unfortunately with a bug in the menudisplay - I hope Max can help again:-)




Here is the code:
//Curve
function Curve()
{
this.addInput("In","objectlist");
this.addOutput("Out","objectlist");
}
Line.title = "Curve";
Line.desc = "Curve";

Curve.prototype.onExecute = function()
{
var inObj = this.getInputData(0, moi.geometryDatabase.createObjectList());
var factory = moi.command.createFactory( 'interpcurve' );
// factory.createInput('point');
for ( var n = 0; n < inObj.length; ++n )
{ factory.createInput('point');
factory.setInput(n,inObj.item(n).pt);
}
var output = factory.calculate();
this.setOutputData(0, output);
factory.cancel();
}
LiteGraph.registerNodeType("Factories/Curve", Curve);

I hope it's useful and Max or someone else see my bug:-)

Kind regards
and a nice weekend to all!
Karsten

Hi Karsten

Finally found the simple error.
Line needs to be replaced with Curve, twice

Line.title = "Curve";
Line.desc = "Curve";

ICurve.title = "ICurve";
ICurve.desc = "ICurve";

- Brian

I renamed it ICurve, because ControlPoint curves are also possible.

Now I will try the simple Catenary to feed into ICurve.

---

Here is a version of factories.js with Line and InterpCurve nodes.
(This is NOT approved by Max)

I have a plans to change point and frame formats. I'll make a common data type.
It will support points, frames, point arrays e.t.c.

Brian, thank you!
I'll check it tomorrow :)

---

Hi Brian,

thank You very much! Are there some other new nodes?

Kind regards
Karsten

---

Hi Karsten,

I have not made any nodes, so you are way ahead of me:-)
But your and Max's examples have shown the way.

- Brian

Hello,

I've playing around with a very simple node. It only invert values - but I think it can be useful:-)
I've put the following line in the index.html: <script type="text/javascript" src="nodes/math.js"></script>
and put the following file in the nodes directory.






Maybe interesting for someone.

Kind regards
Karsten

I believe that you must open a thread for collect the Nodes function created!
Else it will be difficult to find something!

---

Hi Pilou,

please, only a last one;-)




It's only for playing around:-)

Thank's Max again - I don't understand that stuff - but I love it!

Kind regards
Karsten

Thanks Karsten

I have your nodes up and running. Brilliant work...kudos.
I encourage you to keep going.
