Class: OutputSocket

OutputSocket(name, node, type, value, cachedopt)

This is a output value socket and represent an output value for the node. Output value socket can be connected to many peer input value sockets, because many socket would like to take the value from this.

Constructor

new OutputSocket(name, node, type, value, cachedopt)

Parameters:
Name Type Attributes Default Description

Members

(private) cached

This flag indicates that the socket don't try to cal the process() method of its node upon the evaluation. Normally, functional nodes have output sockets not cached, so an evaluation of its values will result in a call of process() method

(async) evaluate()

The evaluation of a OutputSocket depends from two factors: - The node of the socket is functional - The socket is market to be "cached" If the parent node is not functional, simply does nothing, because the value of this socket have to be unchanged from mthe last process call Otherwise, if the node is functional, we have to check if this particular socket is marked to be "cached", in that case, the value have to remain unchanged, otherwise the process() method have to be called again
