ComfyUI Node: Range(Num Steps) - Int

Range(Num Steps) - Int:

The `Range(Num Steps)

• Int` node is designed to generate a sequence of integer values between a specified start and stop point, distributed evenly across a defined number of steps. This node is particularly useful for creating evenly spaced intervals or sequences in a range, which can be beneficial in various computational and artistic applications where precise control over the distribution of values is required. By specifying the number of steps, you can ensure that the generated range fits your specific needs, whether for animation frames, procedural generation, or other creative processes. The node's ability to handle both inclusive and exclusive end modes provides additional flexibility in determining whether the stop value is part of the generated sequence.

Range(Num Steps) - Int Input Parameters:

start

The start parameter defines the beginning of the range from which the sequence of integers will be generated. It is an integer value with a default of 0, and it can be set anywhere between -4096 and 4096. This parameter is crucial as it sets the initial point of your sequence, influencing the entire range of values produced.

stop

The stop parameter specifies the endpoint of the range. Like the start parameter, it is an integer with a default value of 0, and it can also range from -4096 to 4096. Depending on the end_mode, this value may or may not be included in the final sequence, thus affecting the total number of values generated.

num_steps

The num_steps parameter determines how many steps or intervals the range will be divided into. It is an integer with a default value of 1, and it must be at least 1 and can go up to 4096. This parameter is essential for defining the granularity of the sequence, as it directly impacts the spacing between each value in the range.

end_mode

The end_mode parameter allows you to choose whether the stop value is included in the generated sequence. It offers two options: "Inclusive" and "Exclusive," with "Inclusive" as the default. This setting provides flexibility in how the range is constructed, allowing you to tailor the sequence to your specific requirements.

Range(Num Steps) - Int Output Parameters:

range

The range output is a list of integers representing the generated sequence based on the specified start, stop, and num_steps parameters. This output is crucial as it provides the actual sequence of values that can be used in further processing or artistic applications.

range_sizes

The range_sizes output is an integer that indicates the number of values in the generated range. This output is important for understanding the size of the sequence and ensuring it meets the expected number of steps or intervals.

Range(Num Steps) - Int Usage Tips:

• To create a sequence that includes both the start and stop values, set the end_mode to "Inclusive." This is useful when you need the range to cover the entire interval.
• If you require a specific number of values in your sequence, adjust the num_steps parameter accordingly. This will ensure that the range is divided into the desired number of intervals.

Range(Num Steps) - Int Common Errors and Solutions:

Uneven steps detected for start=<start>, stop=<stop>, num_steps=<num_steps>.

• Explanation: This error occurs when the calculated step size between values is not an integer, and the allow_uneven_steps parameter is set to "False."
• Solution: Ensure that the step size results in an integer by adjusting the start, stop, or num_steps values, or set allow_uneven_steps to "True" if uneven steps are acceptable.

List input for allow_uneven_steps is not supported.

• Explanation: This error is raised when more than one value is provided for the allow_uneven_steps parameter.
• Solution: Provide a single value for the allow_uneven_steps parameter to resolve this issue.
