Title: New hybrid types? (basic formula editor)
Post by: bib on February 01, 2011, 02:59:05 PM
Jesse,

Looking at the box formula again, I had an idea for you in case your to-do list is not long enough ;)

It could be interesting to choose if a formula will be applied based on conditions. Currently, we can set the number of iterations for 6 formulas, and choose the formula where the loop starts again. In addition, what if we could tell for example:

F1
F2 if condition2=true
F3 if condition3=true
etc...

And in addition have a checkbox in each formula to choose if the bailout test should be done or not.

The conditions could be for example value1<var<value2, with value1 and value2 set by the user (could be +-infinite) and var a choice between x,y,z,r,phi, theta, etc...

That would not be yet a real formula editor, but it would allow greater flexibility I think.

hi bib,

currently i am not working on m3d, but some formula tweaks may be ok  ^-^

I want really to bring a simple formula editor to work, but what can be done with the current version would be a formula that decides the iteration count of other formulas!

So like the attached image where i rebuild the bulbox with a P8 bulb and different R's as conditions.

(Formula itself was a quick tryout, but i will code it... don't have to ask for  :dink:)
