Description
Execution/simulation of signal functions.
SFs can be executed in two ways: by running them, feeding input samples one by one, obtained from a monadic environment (presumably, |IO|), or by passing an input stream and calculating an output stream. The former is called reactimation, and the latter is called embedding.
Normally, to run an SF, you would use reactimate, providing input samples,
and consuming the output samples in the IO monad. This function takes over
the program, implementing a "main loop". If you want more control over the
evaluation loop (for instance, if you are using Yampa in combination with a
backend that also implements some main loop), you may want to use the
lower-level API for reactimation (ReactHandle, reactInit, react).
You can use embed for testing, to evaluate SFs in a terminal, and to embed
an SF inside a larger system. The helper functions deltaEncode and
deltaEncodeBy facilitate producing input signals from plain lists of
input samples.
Synopsis
- reactimate :: Monad m => m a -> (Bool -> m (DTime, Maybe a)) -> (Bool -> b -> m Bool) -> SF a b -> m ()
- data ReactHandle a b
- reactInit :: IO a -> (ReactHandle a b -> Bool -> b -> IO Bool) -> SF a b -> IO (ReactHandle a b)
- react :: ReactHandle a b -> (DTime, Maybe a) -> IO Bool
- embed :: SF a b -> (a, [(DTime, Maybe a)]) -> [b]
- embedSynch :: SF a b -> (a, [(DTime, Maybe a)]) -> SF Double b
- deltaEncode :: Eq a => DTime -> [a] -> (a, [(DTime, Maybe a)])
- deltaEncodeBy :: (a -> a -> Bool) -> DTime -> [a] -> (a, [(DTime, Maybe a)])
Reactimation
Arguments
| :: Monad m | |
| => m a | Initialization action |
| -> (Bool -> m (DTime, Maybe a)) | Input sensing action |
| -> (Bool -> b -> m Bool) | Actuation (output processing) action |
| -> SF a b | Signal function |
| -> m () |
Convenience function to run a signal function indefinitely, using a IO actions to obtain new input and process the output.
This function first runs the initialization action, which provides the initial input for the signal transformer at time 0.
Afterwards, an input sensing action is used to obtain new input (if any) and the time since the last iteration. The argument to the input sensing function indicates if it can block. If no new input is received, it is assumed to be the same as in the last iteration.
After applying the signal function to the input, the actuation IO action is executed. The first argument indicates if the output has changed, the second gives the actual output). Actuation functions may choose to ignore the first argument altogether. This action should return True if the reactimation must stop, and False if it should continue.
Note that this becomes the program's main loop, which makes using this
function incompatible with GLUT, Gtk and other graphics libraries. It may also
impose a sizeable constraint in larger projects in which different subparts run
at different time steps. If you need to control the main
loop yourself for these or other reasons, use reactInit and react.
Low-level reactimation interface
data ReactHandle a b Source #
A reference to reactimate's state, maintained across samples.
reactInit :: IO a -> (ReactHandle a b -> Bool -> b -> IO Bool) -> SF a b -> IO (ReactHandle a b) Source #
Initialize a top-level reaction handle.
Embedding
embed :: SF a b -> (a, [(DTime, Maybe a)]) -> [b] Source #
Given a signal function and a pair with an initial input sample for the input signal, and a list of sampling times, possibly with new input samples at those times, it produces a list of output samples.
This is a simplified, purely-functional version of reactimate.
embedSynch :: SF a b -> (a, [(DTime, Maybe a)]) -> SF Double b Source #
Synchronous embedding. The embedded signal function is run on the supplied input and time stream at a given (but variable) ratio >= 0 to the outer time flow. When the ratio is 0, the embedded signal function is paused.
deltaEncode :: Eq a => DTime -> [a] -> (a, [(DTime, Maybe a)]) Source #
Spaces a list of samples by a fixed time delta, avoiding unnecessary samples when the input has not changed since the last sample.
deltaEncodeBy :: (a -> a -> Bool) -> DTime -> [a] -> (a, [(DTime, Maybe a)]) Source #
deltaEncode parameterized by the equality test.
