# Continuous Signals

Signals are patterns with continuous values, meaning they have theoretically infinite steps.

They can provide streams of numbers that can be sampled at discrete points in time.

## saw

<JsDoc client:idle name="saw" h={0} />

## sine

<JsDoc client:idle name="sine" h={0} />

## cosine

<JsDoc client:idle name="cosine" h={0} />

## tri

<JsDoc client:idle name="tri" h={0} />

## square

<JsDoc client:idle name="square" h={0} />

## rand

<JsDoc client:idle name="rand" h={0} />

## Ranges from -1 to 1

There is also `saw2`, `sine2`, `cosine2`, `tri2`, `square2` and `rand2` which have a range from -1 to 1!

## perlin

<JsDoc client:idle name="perlin" h={0} />

## irand

<JsDoc client:idle name="irand" h={0} />

## brand

<JsDoc client:idle name="brand" h={0} />

## brandBy

<JsDoc client:idle name="brandBy" h={0} />

## mouseX

<JsDoc client:idle name="mousex" h={0} />

## mouseY

<JsDoc client:idle name="mousey" h={0} />
