bridge
bridge — creates a bridge between two points.
Synopsis
(bridge source destination
[flags [multiply add [srcmin srcmax dstmin dstmax]]])
Arguments
-
source The fully qualified point name of the source, or starting point of the bridge.
-
destination The fully qualified point name of the destination, or ending point of the bridge.
-
flags A bitwise combination of:
1Forward bridge: bridge from source to destination 2Inverse bridge: bridge from destination to source 16Clamp output to the minimum. (Range mapping only.) 32Clamp output to the maximum. (Range mapping only.) 256The bridge is a direct copy 512The bridge uses a linear transformation 1024The bridge uses range mapping 4096The bridge is disabled ![[Note]](images/note_1156523861.png)
Bits
256,512and1024are mutually exclusive.-
multiply The multiplier value for a linear transformation. This is ignored if
(flags & 512) == 0.-
add The adder value for a linear transformation. This is ignored if
(flags & 512) == 0.-
srcmin The minimum range map value for the source point. This is ignored if
(flags & 1024) == 0.-
srcmax The maximum range map value for the source point. This is ignored if
(flags & 1024) == 0.-
dstmin The minimum range map value for the destination point. This is ignored if
(flags & 1024) == 0.-
dstmax The maximum range map value for the destination point. This is ignored if
(flags & 1024) == 0.
Returns
A message indicating success or error. Please refer to Return Syntax for details.
Description
This command creates a bridge between two data points so that a change to the value of one point automatically propagates to the other point. The scaling and the limits on source and destination points used for linear transformations are stored with the bridge so that if you decide to change from a direct bridge to one that uses linear transformations your previous entries are preserved. The values themselves are only applied when the flag set indicates the corresponding transfer function.
