## ptablei

ptablei — Accesses table values by direct indexing with linear interpolation.

## Description

Accesses table values by direct indexing with linear interpolation.

## Syntax

    ares ptablei andx, ifn [, ixmode] [, ixoff] [, iwrap]

    ires ptablei indx, ifn [, ixmode] [, ixoff] [, iwrap]

    kres ptablei kndx, ifn [, ixmode] [, ixoff] [, iwrap]

## Initialization

ifn -- function table number. The table need not be a power of 2 long.

ixmode (optional) -- index data mode. The default value is 0.

- 0 = raw index

- 1 = normalized (0 to 1)

ixoff (optional) -- amount by which index is to be offset. For a table with origin at center, use tablesize/2 (raw) or .5 (normalized). The default value is 0.

iwrap (optional) -- wraparound index flag. The default value is 0.

- 0 = nowrap (index < 0 treated as index=0; index > tablesize sticks at index=size)

- 1 = wraparound.

## Performance

ptablei is a interpolating unit in which the fractional part of index is used to interpolate between adjacent table entries. The smoothness gained by interpolation is at some small cost in execution time (see also oscili, etc.), but the interpolating and non-interpolating units are otherwise interchangeable.

## Examples

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