Basic dat to chop question

Hello,

I do have a what I think simple situation but I’m struggling to get what I need.

Basically I have a table with:

Row1 = Index
Row2 = Value

Now I want a chop where I do have a linear interpolation between those data points. In the screenshot below I get a chop, but with the index of the table, but I need the index of in row one.

Any hints on how I can achieve this? Thanks in advance!

I did not find a solution to that particular problem, but I solved it with a Animation COMP.

Hi @laxaman,

this might be a bit strange but since data is data, this approach works:

If we interpret the first row as values on the horizontal axis and the second row as values on the vertical, you can think of these 2 rows as postiions in a 2D (or 3D) space. So converting to SOP and then converting back to CHOP will get you the desired curve.
Now, since you only define 5 points there is a need to add the missing points in between. This can be done using the Resample SOP and setting the Length parameter right under the Maximum Segment Length to 1.

Hope this helps
cheers
Markus

Hi Markus,

not really strange. :slight_smile:

I do sometime forget to play more with switching between data types. I use TOPs for large Data sets a lot as it is much more efficient to work with.
