Reading a book on JavaScript they had examples of JavaScript and mathematical functions, like little graphics along a sinus curve. I wonder if that is possible in dim3 already or could be easily implemented?
For example instead of a straight ray from a to b you then would have a curved line.

Are you talking about the functions in the Math object? All the built-in global objects (like Date, Math, etc) are already there.

I think he's talking about applying these functions to other parts that are Dim3 specific, like rays or maybe particles.
Using a function to make the particles move a long a certain path or change the shape of a ray for example.

OK, sure, it's doable, but it wouldn't be something that I'd use a script for as it would be way to slow, there would have to be specific examples to implement.

Well, I just mean that right now rays are going from A to B in a straight line, but let's say we want to build a spiral or a sinus curve. OK, that's nothing crucial, just something I thought of during reading.
