REQUEST: ZUI for Set Intersection

Would be nice to be able to intersect more than 2 sets at a time, with a ZUI interface for adding set inputs.

There might be other set components that could benefit from this as well, but this one happens to be the one I'm using at the moment. Will use workarounds in the meantime (chaining intersection components together).

Thanks,

Marc

Done, for both Intersection and Union.

Other components that come to mind that have be chained in a similar fashion because of lack of inputs are:

Boolean components like AND and OR (ternary components can be removed).

Addition component.

Multiplication component.

Concatenate string component.

You people, never satisfied. AND and OR done (and I really liked the Ternary icons too, damn you!), I'll get around to Concatenate before dinner, but Addition and Multiplication are way difficult because they can operate on so many different types of data.

doesn't mass addition and multiplication somewhat satisfy that?

Not really.
The expression, evaluate and scripting components satisfy all these, but using the mass addition component to add items from several parallel lists would require cumbersome list/path manipulation.

got it.

You have to let them go.

You can ignore this if it doesn't make any sense (i like to speak out of ignorance), but since the evaluate component can already do this (variable inputs, add different data types), instead of having individual chunks of code for all the specific math components, maybe they could be like sub types of the evaluate component where the only difference is that the formula is fixed by the developer and the icon is different. It would be less of a hassle to make these and future changes.

Minimum and maximum components.

he added extremes :)

True, those components should be removed now. It shouldn't be a problem, the icons aren't that good.
