Hello vvvvers,
How can I “grow” a spread? Let’s say I want a spread to start with a spreadcount of 1, and grow it up to 50. the first slice should start at a value of 0, and each slice-value should grow by 0.04.
I actually want to draw concentric circles. It should start with the smallest one, and add circles, until they reach the borders of the renderer.
Greetings

Many ways, just pick up one:
use I (Spread) and connect it to a * (Spread) and multiply for 0.04
Thanks IO,
my question was imprecise. I want the spreadslices to increment in time. Let’s say I have a spread with a value of 0 on all indices. I want that spread to change after one second, so that at index 0 there is a value 0, at index 1 there is a valoe of .04, at index 2 and above alle the values are 0. After another second, the value at index 2 should have turned to .08 and so on.
Not sure, if the value is 0 then the circle is invisible, then it is the same as a non-existent spread value right?
Any whay if you wish so then use Select (Value) to create a given number of slices at 0 value then use Insert Spread to add the values coming from the I and * nodes, see how to increment properly the spread size.

maybe GrowSpread from here is what you are looking for: woei.modules
also have a look at the node BarSpread (Spreads) with it you could switch between two spreads on a slice level.
Kind of spread as node I think you’ll find the solution.
This node lets you, starting form any value, to retrieve a spread of values with a regular interval (0 0.04 0.08 0.12 …) of any spreadcount, and all pins are spreadable. @velcrome made a really good work here.
Though this can be obtained with a linearspread, it behaves in a slightly different way. In your case it would let you to simply add a new slice without having to set any other pin. Linearspread, instead, would make you to adjust not only SpreadCount but also Width and Input (and Alignment though just one time).
I would suggest it to be included in the next release, as it performs a useful and solid operation.
