Dispatch Coordinates by Y value

Hi,

I am trying to dispatch a set of points by their Y coordinate so that anything that has a '-' value is dispatched into one list and anything with a '+' value is sorted into another.

So far I have de constructed my points to get the Y values. These are then fed into the evaluate component with the definition 'if ((X>A) and (X<B),1,0) where my 'A' and 'B' values are 0 but so far these are returning all my results as 0.

Additionally, in this scenario what happens to any values that have a '0' Y coordinate, will they be returned as true or false?

I'm struggling to see where the hole in this definition is and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Tom

hello

since a y value has to be larger than zero and smaller than zero then it must be zero. the expression like that, tests a values if it is between A and B to return 1. if not 0.

if A is not B then your expression should be working

if the value to test is one why not use large than component?

Hi Alex,

Thanks for your reply, I think the larger than component may be exactly what I am after. I just tried using it to create a dispatch pattern to form two separate lists of points where Y>0 and Y<0. It appears to be what I was after! Thanks very much!
