## Inputs

### Add Input

Parameter ID: `VAR_COMMAND_ADDNAMEDVARIADICPORT`

### Remove Input

Parameter ID: `VAR_COMMAND_REMOVEVARIADICPORT`

These buttons can be used to create the required number of inputs for floating point values. The values for these inputs can be entered directly at the Node or filled via the input ports by connections to other Nodes. By default, the value inputs in the formula are used by the abbreviation *var* followed by the consecutive number of the input.

### var.1

Parameter ID: `VARIADIC_PROPS_VAR` · Range: [-∞..+∞]

### var.1

Parameter ID: `VARIADIC_PROPS_VAR` · Range: [-∞..+∞]

### var.1

Parameter ID: `VARIADIC_PROPS_VAR` · Range: [-∞..+∞]

These are the three value inputs already present on the Node by default. The number of these inputs can be individually shortened or extended using the buttons in the upper part of the dialog. The names of the existing inputs can be edited individually by double-clicking on the port names at the Node, but within the formula the default abbreviation *var* followed by the consecutive number of the input is always expected. The first input must therefore always be addressed in the formula via *var1*, the second input via *var2*, and so on.

### Condition

Parameter ID: `FORMULAIN`

In this area you can define your mathematical formula. The typical basic arithmetic operations can be used, but also parentheses and trigonometric functions, such as *sin* or *cos*. Constants, such as *pi,* can also be incorporated. The access to the values at the defined inputs of the Node is generally done via the abbreviation *var* followed by the consecutive number of the input. The numerical value at the first input can therefore be entered into the formula with the abbreviation *var1*, for example. Note that these abbreviations must be used even if you have assigned other names for the input ports of the Node.
