Operating on Vectors
A vector (also known as an array or list), is a variable that holds more than one element
(number). The Lemur expression syntax allows operations on vectors and access to the
elements. You can access the data in certain Lemur objects (Multislider, Multiball, Pads,
Switches) as vectors. Typically each “sub object” is an element of a vector. For example,
the x coordinates of the balls in a Multiball object are accessed as
(number). The Lemur expression syntax allows operations on vectors and access to the
elements. You can access the data in certain Lemur objects (Multislider, Multiball, Pads,
Switches) as vectors. Typically each “sub object” is an element of a vector. For example,
the x coordinates of the balls in a Multiball object are accessed as
myball.x[0]
myball.x[1]
etc.
