How do I set these ranges ?
I think the range asymmetrical knot is the way. but how to use it ?
Thanks,

I have been staring at that picture for 5 minutes trying to figure out what that means...
No idea what you are representing there.

Hi,
this is a quit difficult setting for the actual WD release. Unfortunately, the asymetric range node is not the tool you can use for this (it is more to spare out middle parts in one axis). Depending on your setup, there are some workarounds possible. Can you please give us more details about the incoming signal?
Without knowing what you are doing I only can give you a workaround to set up this range, but it is not easy to achieve. You can put in 3 Angle Distance Nodes, each one gets a point of one triangle. Those Nodes come together in a Condition Node, there you have to calculate with all received angles and distances if you are in the area or not - really complex...
As said, depending on the way you create tracking data, there are maybe other workarounds possible.
cheers
Thomas

Thanks Thomas,
What information do you need?
I have the airscan in the middle and floor of the screen. The axis in the picture show my airscan range.

I need to create triangular range.
I know how to make square or rectangular range, touching on the red triangle will trigger the green.
I need to create triangular range separately for each color in the example.
Being that I have a hundred triangles to map .

Hi Andre,

thanks a lot for your question.
Somehow this filter node has never been requested before. Even we have never needed it on one of our trade shows or within any support case.

As this node would be so useful and opens up many possibilities, we all have been excited in having such a node. Therefore, we already made it:
I "proudly present" the "Image Pixel Reader" node.

The node outputs the color of a requested pixel. Therefore you can send in your tracking data and read out green or red or any defined colour in order to know if you are in that spot or not.

It will be available within the next release of the Widget Designer, which will come out soon.

Cheers
Markus

Thank you Markus.
We met here in Rio de Janeiro.
Do you remember ?

Hi Andre,

thanks for your task to let us think about it.
I would like to remember, but as I have never been to Rio, I doubt we met there. :-)

Cheers
Markus
