Purpose

The module EvaluateLinearFunction evaluates a piecewise multi-linear function or an array of those and displays some additional information.

Input Fields

inputArray

name: inputArray, type: MLBase

Parameter Fields

Visible Fields

Evaluation Point

name: evalPoint, type: String

Sets the point at which the functions should be evaluated.

Separate components with comma. If the point does not match the dimension, it will internally be truncated or supplemented with zeros as required.

Evaluate unscaled

name: evalUnscaled, type: Bool, default: FALSE

If checked, the function will be rescaled to become a function on the box [-1,1]n rather than its actual bounding box.

Note that this is the way it is internally stored, i.e. checking this box actually disables the scaling to the function’s bounding box.

Evaluation Value

name: evalValue, type: String, persistent: no

Shows the value of the functions at the given point.

If several functions are present, the values will be separated by commas. However, if the Evaluate one component only field is enabled, only one component’s value will be displayed here.

Number of Components

name: countComponents, type: Integer, persistent: no

Shows the number of functions that are present.

Select Component Number

name: numComponent, type: Integer, default: 0

Sets the number of the function (starting with 0) that should be examined.

This refers to all read-only fields that display properties of one component only.

Dimension of Component

name: dim, type: Integer, persistent: no

Shows the space dimension of the selected component.

Evaluate one component only

name: evalOneComponentOnly, type: Bool, default: FALSE

If checked, the selected component also applies to the Evaluation Value field, which otherwise displays an array of all function values.

Bounding Box

name: bBox, type: String, persistent: no

Shows one function’s bounding box.

If several functions are present, use the Select Component Number field to select which’s bounding box is displayed here. There is no such thing as an overall bounding box.

Show internal representation

name: showValues, type: Bool, default: FALSE

If checked, the internal representation if shown in the field Internal Representation.

Note that displaying the internal representation may slow down the module considerably.

Number of Internal IDs

name: numValues, type: Integer, persistent: no

Shows the number of lines that the Internal Representation field would display if enabled.

Internal Representation

name: values, type: String, persistent: no

This field is for advanced users only and displays (if enabled) the internal representation of the selected component, consisting of IDs and values.

See the doxygen documentation of the C++ classes MultivarLinFunc and MultivarId to understand the meaning of these numbers.
