## Step
|
|
Generate a step function by comparing two values
|
|
|
|
### Declaration
|
|
```glsl
|
|
float step(float edge, float x)
|
|
vec2 step(vec2 edge, vec2 x)
|
|
vec3 step(vec3 edge, vec3 x)
|
|
vec4 step(vec4 edge, vec4 x)
|
|
|
|
vec2 step(float edge, vec2 x)
|
|
vec3 step(float edge, vec3 x)
|
|
vec4 step(float edge, vec4 x)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Parameters
|
|
```edge``` specifies the location of the edge of the step function.
|
|
|
|
```x``` specify the value to be used to generate the step function.
|
|
|
|
### Description
|
|
```step()``` generates a step function by comparing ```x``` to ```edge```.
|
|
|
|
For element ```i``` of the return value, ```0.0``` is returned ```if x[i] < edge[i]```, and ```1.0``` is returned otherwise.
