GEN16
GEN16 — Creates a table from a starting value to an ending value.
Initialization
size -- number of points in the table. Must be a power of 2 or a power-of-2 plus 1 (see f statement). The normal value is power-of-2 plus 1.
beg -- starting value
dur -- number of segments
type -- if 0, a straight line is produced. If non-zero, then GEN16 creates the following curve, for dur steps:
beg + (end - beg) * (1 - exp( i*type/(dur-1) )) / (1 - exp(type))
end -- value after dur segments
Here are some examples of the curves generated for different values of type:

If type > 0, there is a slowly rising, fast decaying (convex) curve, while if type < 0, the curve is fast rising, slowly decaying (concave). See also transeg. |
