XY Inputs: Steps //EasyUse:

The easy XYInputs: Steps node is designed to facilitate the generation of step values for various parameters in your AI art projects. This node allows you to specify a range of steps and generate values within that range, which can be particularly useful for creating smooth transitions or variations in your artwork. By automating the process of generating step values, this node helps you save time and ensures consistency in your outputs. Whether you are working on animations, iterative designs, or any project that requires precise control over step values, this node provides a straightforward and efficient solution.

XY Inputs: Steps //EasyUse Input Parameters:

target_parameter

This parameter allows you to select the specific parameter you want to generate step values for. The available options are steps, start_at_step, and end_at_step. Choosing the correct target parameter is crucial as it determines which aspect of your project will be influenced by the generated step values.

batch_count

This integer parameter specifies the number of batches for which step values will be generated. The default value is 3, with a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 50. Adjusting the batch count allows you to control the number of variations or iterations in your project.

first_step

This integer parameter sets the starting value for the step range. The default value is 10, with a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 10000. This parameter defines the initial point from which the step values will begin.

last_step

This integer parameter sets the ending value for the step range. The default value is 20, with a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 10000. This parameter defines the final point at which the step values will end.

first_start_step

This integer parameter sets the starting value for the start_at_step range. The default value is 0, with a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 10000. This parameter is used when the target parameter is start_at_step.

last_start_step

This integer parameter sets the ending value for the start_at_step range. The default value is 10, with a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 10000. This parameter is used when the target parameter is start_at_step.

first_end_step

This integer parameter sets the starting value for the end_at_step range. The default value is 10, with a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 10000. This parameter is used when the target parameter is end_at_step.

last_end_step

This integer parameter sets the ending value for the end_at_step range. The default value is 20, with a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 10000. This parameter is used when the target parameter is end_at_step.

XY Inputs: Steps //EasyUse Output Parameters:

X or Y

This output parameter provides the generated step values in the form of an X_Y object. The X_Y object contains the axis and the corresponding values, which can be used in your project to control various aspects such as animation frames, iterative designs, or any other parameter that requires step values.

XY Inputs: Steps //EasyUse Usage Tips:

• To create smooth transitions in your animations, set the first_step and last_step parameters to values that represent the start and end points of your animation sequence.
• Use the batch_count parameter to generate multiple variations of your design, which can be useful for exploring different artistic possibilities or creating a series of related artworks.

XY Inputs: Steps //EasyUse Common Errors and Solutions:

Invalid batch_count value

• Explanation: The batch_count parameter must be within the specified range (0 to 50).
• Solution: Ensure that the value you enter for batch_count is within the allowed range.

Invalid step range

• Explanation: The first_step and last_step parameters must be within the specified range (1 to 10000).
• Solution: Check that the values for first_step and last_step are within the allowed range and adjust them if necessary.

Invalid start_at_step or end_at_step range

• Explanation: The first_start_step, last_start_step, first_end_step, and last_end_step parameters must be within the specified range (0 to 10000).
• Solution: Verify that the values for these parameters are within the allowed range and make adjustments as needed.
