DynamicOperation

A dynamic operation describes a special type of operation where one of the inputs to the parameters generates inlets that accept inputs. An example is the "Image Map" function, where uploading an image file generates inlets each assigned to a different color. The dynamic_param_id identifies which parameter (in the operations parameters array), triggers the generation of inlets. dynamic_param_type describes the kind of dynamic action that will happen when this input is triggered. onParamChange accepts a function that performs the computation to translate the dynamic parameter value into a series of inlets, returned only as value to be attached to the dynamic inlets.

export type DynamicOperation = Operation &  {
  dynamic_param_id: number,
  dynamic_param_type: string,
  onParamChange: ( param_vals: Array<OpParamVal>, inlets: Array<OperationInlet>, inlet_vals: Array<any>, changed_param_id: number, param_val: any) => Array<any>;
