The emitted event (the argument passed to the callback function) has the value of corresponding N*threshold.

Note: The threshold must be a positive number.

Note: interval is mostly useful for non-negative non-decreasing scalar signals.

Returns an EventSource that emits an event every time the value of the input signal changes. The event contains a JSON object with the old and new values in the format:

{ "oldValue": val, "newValue": val }

Note: By default, there is no event fired for the initial value of the signal. If config.fireOnInitialValue is set to true then an event for initial signal value is also emitted. oldValue is unset for this initial event.

mul

mul(other: ScalarSignal): ScalarSignal mul(other: VectorSignal): VectorSignal mul(other: ScalarSignal): VectorSignal mul(other: ScalarSignal): VectorSignal

Returns a signal with the value that is the product of the values of the given signals.

The emitted event (the argument passed to the callback function) has the value of threshold.

Note: The initial value of the signal is assumed to be 0.0.

See Also: ReactiveModule.trigger, ReactiveModule.interval.

pow

pow(exponent: ScalarSignal): ScalarSignal

Returns a signal with the value that is the base signal raised to the power of the exponent signal. The result is undefined if the base is negative, or if the base is zero and the exponent is not positive.

reflect

reflect(incident: VectorSignal, normal: VectorSignal): VectorSignal reflect(normal: VectorSignal): VectorSignal

Calculates the reflection direction for an incident vector and a normal as a VectorSignal.

round

round(): ScalarSignal

Returns a signal with the value that is the rounded value of the given signal.

Note: When the fractional part is 0.5, it rounds the number away from zero, which is at odds with JavaScript standard behavior of rounding it always up in such cases. Therefore, this function is NOT exactly the reactive counterpart of the standard JavaScript Math.round utility.

See Also: ReactiveModule.round

schmittTrigger

schmittTrigger(config: { low: number, high: number, initialValue: ?boolean}): BoolSignal

Returns a Boolean signal that is true when the input is strictly greater than the upper threshold, and false when it is strictly less than the lower threshold.

Note: The initialValue is assumed to be false if it isn't specified.

sign

sign(): ScalarSignal

Returns a signal with the value that is the sign of the given signal. Possible sign values: NaN, -0.0, 0.0, -1.0, 1.0.

Note: this function is the reactive counterpart of the standard JavaScript Math.sign utility.

smoothStep

smoothStep(x: ScalarSignal, edge0: ScalarSignal, edge1: ScalarSignal): ScalarSignal

Maps x from [0.0, 1.0] range to [min, max] range.

toString

toString(): StringSignal

Note: ScalarSignal.format allows more flexible control over the way the number is converted to string.

trigger

trigger(threshold: number): EventSource

Returns an EventSource that fires the first time the value of the signal raises (becomes greater than or equal) to the level of threshold. No more than one event is ever emitted by this EventSource.

The emitted event (the argument passed to the callback function) has the value of threshold.
