Pointarray

pointarray

Pointarray is a special JavaScript object type in nodeeditor. It stores a sequence of values in a single array named data. It is the standard datatype to describe mathematical Points/Frames in the nodeeditor. The data array stores the following sequence for each point:

• x coordinate
• y coordinate
• z coordinate
• rx Euler angle in degree format
• ry Euler angle in degree format
• rz Euler angle in degree format
• scale - a scale value

Further more the pointarray stores also some metadata:

• recordlength describes the lengh that every point takes inside the //data// array
• length of the data array
• xlength describes the length of a sequence logical related points
• ylength describes the length of a sequence logical related points
• zlength describes the amount of logical point sequences

The meta data xlength, ylength and zlength can be used to split the data sequence in sub seqences to multiprocess e.g. curves
