Changelog:
Fri May 16 15:17:34 PDT 2003
Project started (roughly).
Mon May 19 17:56:24 PDT 2003
Timeline is more or less working. Still bugs with skipping
FunctionFrames at random times.
Timeline idea
=============
time | 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
---------+-----------------------------
frame | F F F
blenders | \ b / \- b ----/
Update: this is more or less what happened. However, there are
TimelineTracks as well. FunctionFrames go on their own track.
LevelFrames must have unique times, FunctionFrames do not.
Level propagation
=================
Cue1 is a CueNode. CueNodes consist of a timeline with any number
of LevelFrame nodes and LinearBlenders connecting all the frames.
At time 0, Cue1's timeline has LevelFrame1. At time 5, the timeline
has NodeFrame1. NodeFrame1 points to Node1, which has it's own sets
of levels. It could be a Cue, for all Cue1 cares. No matter what,
we always get down to LevelFrames holding the levels at the bottom,
then getting combined by Blenders.
/------\
| Cue1 |
|---------------\
| Timeline: |
| 0 ... 5 |
/--------- LF1 NF1 -------\
| | \ / | |
| | LinearBlender | |
| \---------------/ |
| points to
/---------------\ a port in Cue1,
| blueleft : 20 | which connects to a Node
| redwash : 12 |
| . |
| : |
| |
\---------------/
PS. blueleft and redwash are other nodes at the bottom of the tree.
The include their real channel number for the DimmerNode to process.
When Cue1 requests levels, the timeline looks at the current position.
If it is directly over a Frame (or Frames), that frame is handled.
If it is LevelFrame, those are the levels that it returns. If there is
a FunctionFrame, that function is activated. Thus, the order of Frames
at a specific time is very significant, since the FunctionFrame could
set the time to 5s in the future. If we are not currently over any
LevelFrames, we call upon a Blender to determine the value between.
Say that we are at 2.3s. We use the LinearBlender with 2.3/5.0s = 0.46%
and it determines that the levels are 1 - 0.46% = 0.54% of LF1 and
0.46% of NF1. NF1 asks Node9 for its levels and this process starts
all over.
Graph theory issues (node related issues, should be moved elsewhere)
====================================================================
1. We need to determine dependencies for updating (topological order).
2. We need to do cyclicity tests.
Guess who wishes they had brought their theory book home?
I think we can do both with augmented DFS. An incremental version of both
would be very nice, though hopefully unnecessary.
