A collection of components that send to their "outbox" outbox, values according to simple behaviours - such as constant value, bouncing, looping etc.
Generate values that bounce up and down between 0 and 1 in steps of 0.05:
bouncingFloat(scale_speed=0.05*10)
Generate (x,y) coordinates, starting at (50,50) that bounce within a 200x100 box with a 10 unit inside margin:
cartesianPingPong(point=(50,50), width=200, height=100, border=10)
Generate the angles for the seconds hand on an analog watch:
loopingCounter(increment=360/60, modulo=360)
Constantly generate the number 7:
continuousIdentity(original=7)
Constantly generate the string "hello":
continuousIdentity(original="hello")
Constantly generate the value 0:
continuousZero()
Constantly generate the value 1:
continuousOne()
All components start emitting values as soon as they are activated. They then emit values as fast as they can (there is no throttling/rate control).
All components will terminate if they receive the string "shutdown" on their "control" inbox. They also then send "shutdown" to their "signal" outbox.
All components will pause and stop emitting values if they receive the string "pause" on their "control" inbox. They will resume from where they left off if they receive the string "unpause" on the same inbox.
bouncingFloat(scale_speed) -> new bouncingFloat component
A component that emits a value that constantly bounces between 0 and 1.
scale_speed scales the rate at which the value changes. 1.0 = tenths, 0.5 = twentieths, etc.
Warning!
You should be using the inbox/outbox interface, not these methods (except construction). This documentation is designed as a roadmap as to their functionalilty for maintainers and new component developers.

Main loop
cartesianPingPong(point,width,height,border) -> new cartesianPingPong component
A component that emits (x,y) values that bounce around within the specified bounds.

loopingCounter(increment[,modulo]) -> new loopingCounter component
Emits an always incrementing value, that wraps back to zero when it reaches the specified limit.
Keyword arguments: - increment -- increment step size - modulo -- counter wrap back to zero before reaching this value (default=360)

Got a problem with the documentation? Something unclear that could be clearer? Want to help improve it? Constructive criticism is very welcome - especially if you can suggest a better rewording!
Please leave you feedback here in reply to the documentation thread in the Kamaelia blog.
