#X text 38 29 -- ramp generator;
#X text 5 59 [line]'s left inlet defines the "target" value. The right
inlet defines the "time" value. The "target \, time" pair of numbers
inform [line] to produce a numeric "ramp" from its current value (whatever
that might be at any given moment) to the new value within the alloted
time which is defined at the right inlet.;
#X text 5 147 It is important to realize that [line] stores only the
current value...it does not remember the defined "time" (duration of
the ramp). Hence \, the following works:;
#X obj 10 262 line;
#X msg 44 238 1000;
#X msg 10 238 1000;
#X obj 10 195 bng 15 250 50 0 empty empty empty 0 -6 0 8 -262144 -1

#X floatatom 151 292 5 0 0 0 - - -;
#X text 5 309 If [line] receives a new target value without an accompanying
"time" \, it simply jumps to the new value...as in the example above
on the right. In the example above on the left \, you'll see that [line]
will create a numeric ramp from 0 to 1000 over 1000 milliseconds. You
should also note that if you click that [bng] again a second time \,
nothing happens. This is because [line] is already at 1000 \, so sending
it new instructions to ramp to 1000 is meaningless and has no effect.
;
#X text 5 435 Having said all of that \, let's just reiterate that
it's important to send a "time" value to [line] before sending it a
new "target" value...unless of course you WANT it to jump immediately
to the new target.;
#X text 430 41 [line] will accept a list of two numbers. The first
in the list will be assigned as the new target \, the second in the
list will be the new time (duration of the ramp) as below:;
#X obj 416 7 bng 15 250 50 0 empty empty empty 0 -6 0 8 -262144 -1
-1;
#X obj 416 501 bng 15 250 50 0 empty empty empty 0 -6 0 8 -262144 -1

#X text 515 126 ramp up.;
#X msg 458 150 0 1000;
#X text 505 150 ramp down.;
#X msg 470 194 stop;
#X text 430 86 [line] will also accept the "stop" message which effectively
halt the current ramp.;
#N canvas 51 105 536 509 continuous_ramps 0;
#X text 29 44 [line] does not schedule its incoming messages. What
this means is that if you send [line] a new target value mid-way through
a ramp \, a new ramp is immediatly created to the new target value
starting from the "current" value.;
#X text 27 105 In other words \, if [line] receives a message specifying
some new target and time before reaching the previous target \, it
takes off from its current value.;

#X text 20 18 GRAIN RATE;
#X text 32 38 The "grain rate" of [line] is the rate at which it will
output its values. The faster the grain is \, the smoother the ramp
will appear. While slower grain rates will produce a more disjunct
ramp. Of course this setting will alter the amount of CPU that the
[line] object will require. Higher rates require more computation.
;
#X text 33 144 This means simply that [line] will output a new value
between its current value and your new value once every 20 milliseconds.
;
#X text 33 125 The default grain rate is 20 milliseconds.;
#X text 30 192 [line]'s optional creation arguments can be used to
reset the grain rate. However \, the grain rate cannot be reset dynamically.
;
#X text 32 247 First creation argument is the initial value: the starting
point of the first ramp.;
#X text 31 286 The second creation argument sets the grain rate. Observe
the following two examples to see how the grain rate effects the output.
