Bailout question.

Hi.
is it possible to provide the option of alternative bailouts in the same formula?

More specifically, I wanted to include convergent and divergent bailouts:
|z|<@bailout (default 4.0)
|z|>@bailout (default 0.001)

It seems only one expression is allowed in the bailout section. Is there a way to do this? Any help would be appreciated.

Use && (the "and" operator) to join the expressions:

|z|<@bailout1 && |z|>@bailout2

But note that the convergent part here will bailout when z gets close to 0. More often, you want to compare z with its previous value and bailout when the difference is small (i.e., when it converges to some point). Have a look at the code for one of the Magnet formulas in Standard.ufm for an example.

Thank you that actually helps with something else I'm working on. What I meant here is the option to use either a convergent bailout or a divergent bailout. For example there could be a caption saying 'bailout type' and a drop-down menu with choices 'convergent' or 'divergent'. Or convergent could be enabled by default with a caption 'use divergent bailout?' and a box to check.

I actually have a number of formulas that do this. For example look at Magnet 1 Switch, which is a plug-in for Object Formula Switch Lite.

Thank you! I looked at your formulas, experimented a bit and the problem is now solved
