Type aliases#

Variation#

Ƭ Variation<T>: T | T[] | () => T

Represents a junction of types that can be used as a variation on a value. At any point in time, the variation can be evaluated to retrieve a "primitive" value. The variation can consist of a constant, an array or an evaluateable function.

Type parameters#

Name
`T`

Defined in#

systems/variation.ts:10

Functions#

evaluateVariation#

▸ evaluateVariation<T>(variation): T

Returns a value instance of a variation.

Type parameters#

Name
`T`

Parameters#

Name	Type
`variation`	`Variation`<`T`>

Returns#

T

Defined in#

systems/variation.ts:15

gradientSample#

▸ gradientSample(gradient): Variation<Color>

Creates a variation function that returns a random sample from the given gradient.

remarks This function is an alias for the spline variation, since a gradient is just a spline under the hood.

Parameters#

Name	Type	Description
`gradient`	`Gradient`	The gradient to sample from.

Returns#

Variation<Color>

Defined in#

systems/variation.ts:70

range#

▸ range(min, max): Variation<number>

Creates a variation function that returns a random number from min to max.

Parameters#

Name	Type
`min`	`number`
`max`	`number`

Returns#

Variation<number>

Defined in#

systems/variation.ts:24

skew#

▸ skew(value, amount): Variation<number>

Creates a variation function that skews the specified value by a specified, absolute amount. This means that instead of the value itself, a random number that deviates at most by the specified amount is returned.

remarks If you want to skew by a percentage instead, use skewRelative.

Parameters#

Name	Type
`value`	`number`
`amount`	`number`

Returns#

Variation<number>

Defined in#

systems/variation.ts:36

skewRelative#

▸ skewRelative(value, percentage): Variation<number>

Creates a variation function that skews the specified value by a specified percentage. This means that instead of the value itself, a random number that deviates by a maximum of the specified percentage is returned.

Parameters#

Name	Type
`value`	`number`
`percentage`	`number`

Returns#

Variation<number>

Defined in#

systems/variation.ts:45

splineSample#

▸ splineSample<T>(spline): Variation<T>

Creates a variation function that returns a random sample from the given spline.

Type parameters#

Name
`T`

Parameters#

Name	Type	Description
`spline`	`Spline`<`T`>	The spline to sample from.

Returns#

Variation<T>

Defined in#

systems/variation.ts:57
