Conditional Processing
	ChooseByCase	Returns one of the input objects depending on the specified case index.	FoundationLite
	ChooseByPredicate	Returns one of the two input objects depending on the specified condition. E.g. to choose GREEN color to visualize correct objects or RED to visualize defective ones.	FoundationLite
	ChooseByRange	Returns one of the three input objects depending on whether the associated input value falls below, in or above the specified range. E.g. to choose GREEN, YELLOW or RED color for visualization on the basis of three ranges of some value: OK, WARNING, NOK.	FoundationLite
	ClassifyByCase	Separates the elements of the input array into several output arrays, depending on the associated array of case indices.	FoundationLite
	ClassifyByPredicate	Separates the elements of the input array into two output arrays. The first output array contains all the elements for which the associated predicate is True. E.g. creating separate arrays of OK and NOK objects.	FoundationLite
	ClassifyByRange	Separates the elements of the input array into three output arrays, depending on whether the related values fall below, into or above the specified range. E.g. selection of the objects (e.g. blobs) whose associated values (e.g. area) meet the specified minimum and maximum requirements.	FoundationLite
	ConditionalToOptional	Makes it possible to conditionally preprocess data that will be used on an optional input.	FoundationLite
	GroupByCase	Groups the elements of the input array into output arrays, depending on the associated array of case indices.	FoundationLite
	GroupByCase_Synchronized	Groups the elements of the input array into output arrays, depending on the associated array of case indices. Assumes that the range of case indices is continuous and starts at zero.	FoundationLite
	MakeConditional	Checks a condition and: if the condition is True, then it copies the input object to the output; otherwise returns Nil. Introduces conditional data flow on a condition defined by the user. This filter can be used to skip some parts of the program - e.g. when a detected object does not fulfill some quality criteria.	FoundationLite
	MergeBranches	Chooses the first non-Nil object, or reports an error if there is no such object.	FoundationLite
	MergeConditionals	Returns the first not-Nil input object.	FoundationLite
	MergeDefault	Copies an object from a conditional input to an non-conditional output, replacing Nil with a predefined default value. Usually used to create a definite result for the special cases represented by the Nil value.	FoundationLite
	MergeIntoArray	Creates an array from all the non-Nil input elements.	FoundationLite
	OptionalToConditional	Makes it possible to use conditional execution inside macrofilters with optional inputs.	FoundationLite
	SelectByPredicate	Selects the elements from the input array for which the associated predicate is True.	FoundationLite
	SelectByRange	Selects the elements of the input that fall into the specified range.	FoundationLite
	SwapObjects	Swaps two objects depending on the specified condition.	FoundationLite
Loop Generators
Icon	Name	Description / Applications	Modules
	EnumerateCombinations	In each consecutive iteration produces a consecutive combination of integer numbers.	FoundationLite
	EnumerateElementPairs	Produces a total number of 'inCount1 * inCount2' of pairs of elements.	FoundationLite
	EnumerateElements	In each iteration gets a consecutive element of the input array.	FoundationLite
	EnumerateIntegerPairs	Produces a total number of 'inCount1 * inCount2' of pairs of integer numbers.	FoundationLite
	EnumerateIntegers	In each consecutive iteration produces a consecutive number from an arithmetic sequence.	FoundationLite
	EnumerateRealPairs	Produces a total number of 'inCount1 * inCount2' of pairs of real numbers.	FoundationLite
	EnumerateReals	In each consecutive iteration produces a consecutive number from an arithmetic sequence.	FoundationLite
	Loop	Generates a loop that ends at the first invocation with False on the input. Put this filter into a task that should have a loop, but does not have any other loop generators (e.g. GrabImage).	FoundationLite
	Repeat	Generates a loop that ends at the first invocation with True on the input. Put this filter into a task that should have a loop, but does not have any other loop generators (e.g. GrabImage).	FoundationLite
Loop Utils
Icon	Name	Description / Applications	Modules
	AccumulateElements	Creates an array from elements appearing in many iterations.	FoundationLite
	CountValueInLoop	Counts value occurrences in all loop iterations.	FoundationLite
	Exit	If the specified condition is true, exits the macrofilter loop.	FoundationLite
	GetPreviousObjects	Returns the current and the previous objects.	FoundationLite
	LastExactlyNObjects	Returns an array of N most recent objects.	FoundationLite
	LastMarkedObject	Returns the last value passed with inCondition set to 'True'.	FoundationLite
	LastMultipleObjects	Returns an array of most recent objects.	FoundationLite
	LastNotNil	Returns the last value passed that existed.	FoundationLite
	LastTwoObjects	Returns the current and the previous object.	FoundationLite
	LoopMaximum	Returns the object for which the associated value was the highest among all iterations.	FoundationLite
	LoopMinimum	Returns the object for which the associated value was the lowest among all iterations.	FoundationLite
	TestObjectChanged	Checks if the input object is different than in the previous iteration.	FoundationLite
	CountConditions	Counts in how many iterations the input condition was met. Typically used to check how many PASS or FAIL cases there were in a cycle.	FoundationLite
	TestFirstIteration	Checks if a loop is in the first iteration.	FoundationLite
