From the discussion Is Within Box Get Colors, would it be possible to get a Replace Items / Replace Item ranges in list.
Not so sure how that would be done, but the idea is there.

When we (Team Vuo) plan each release, we try to implement as many of the community's top-voted feature requests as we have time for.
If anyone would like to help this happen sooner, we're also accepting open source contributions and commissioned work.

Change Items in List
node — like the existingChange Item in List
, but inputting multiple Positions and multiple New Items — sounds good. Opened for voting.Bodysoulspirit or Xavierdev, did you have a specific example in mind where the
Change Item Ranges in List
node would be useful? Unless you do, we plan to skip this node and just add theChange Items in List
node. Since aChange Item Ranges in List
node would have several input ports that you'd have to coordinate to make sure the data is entered consistently in all of them (correct number of list items, etc.), we're thinking the complexity of the ports would outweigh the convenience of being able to use ranges.Well, out of context tight
Well, out of context right now I'm not sure but, for the example of Xavier's composition, if I had a list of shaders, and I would want a specific range of the shader list to be replaced, how would I do it without ranges ?
And he wanted the items to be replaced not always to be the same but to change.
If for example there was a
Replaces Ranges In Lists
with drawers, I could make a range from 2-5 for example and fill a 5 shaders list that would place itself at positions 2-5.How would I be able to choose the position of the items to be replaced ?
Perhaps I overview the simpler method !?
Oh, I was thinking the
Oh, I was thinking the hypothetical
Change Item Ranges in List
would have a Ranges port that is a list of ranges, likeGet Item Ranges from List
. Having a singular Range port would not be as complex. Still, you'd have to do a little math to make sure you're feeding in the desired number of replacement items. (The range 2-5 would take 4 items, not 5.)You can generate a list of positions in a range currently using
Make Points along Line
. It would be cool if we also had a node to more straightforwardly generate integer sequences.For those of you who would
For those of you who would need this now, Martinus released a
Change ItemS In List
node in his List Utilities nodes to be found here : Node Set: Magneson's List ToolsI totally love this !!
