ExponentialRamp()

std::vector< double > MayaFlux::Nodes::Generator::ExponentialRamp	(	size_t	length,
		double	start = 0.001,
		double	end = 1.0
	)

Creates an exponential ramp function.

Parameters

length	Number of samples in the ramp
start	Starting value (default: 0.001)
end	Ending value (default: 1.0)

Returns

Vector containing the ramp function values

An exponential ramp changes at a rate proportional to its current value, creating a curve that follows natural growth or decay patterns. Useful for:

• Perceptually balanced transitions
• Parameter sweeps with natural-sounding transitions
• Creating more organic envelope shapes

Note: The start value defaults to 0.001 instead of 0.0 because a true exponential curve cannot start at zero.
