## linsegb

linsegb — Trace a series of line segments between specified absolute points.

## Description

Trace a series of line segments between specified absolute points.

## Syntax

    ares linsegb ia, itim1, ib [, itim2] [, ic] [...]

    kres linsegb ia, itim1, ib [, itim2] [, ic] [...]

## Initialization

ia -- starting value.

ib, ic, etc. -- value at tim1 seconds, etc.

itim1 -- time in seconds of end of first segment. A zero or negative value will cause all initialization to be skipped.

itim2, itim3, etc. -- time in seconds at the end of subsequent segments.

## Performance

These units generate control or audio signals whose values can pass through 2 or more specified points. The last tim value may or may not equal the instrument's performance time: a shorter performance will truncate the specified pattern, while a longer one will cause the last value to be repeated until the end of the note.

## Examples

Here is an example of the linsegb opcode. It uses the file linsegb.csd.
