DmeExpressionOperator is a DmeOperator that writes to its "value" float attribute the evaluated expression stored in its "expr" string attribute. The expression can read other float attributes on the DmeExpressionOperator, and can nest arbitrarily deep. For example, the expression "clamp(distance * cos(angle), 0, 10)" will cause the DmeExpressionOperator to write a value between 0 and 10 into its "value" attribute, depending upon the value of its "distance" and "angle" float attributes.

- rounds to the nearest integer
- sgn(a)
- if a < 0 returns -1 else 1
- sqr(a)
- returns a * a
- sqrt(a)
- returns sqrt(a)
- sin(a)
- sin(a), a is in degrees

- atan(a/b) returns radians (it's Arg(b+ia) actually)
- pow(a,b)
- function returns a raised to the power of b
- inrange(x,a,b)
- if x is between a and b, returns 1 else returns 0
- clamp(x,a,b)
- if x < a returns a else if x > b returns b else returns x
- ramp(value,a,b)
- returns 0 -> 1 as value goes from a to b
- lerp(factor,a,b)
- returns a -> b as factor goes from 0 to 1
- cramp(value,a,b)
- clamp(ramp(value,a,b),0,1)
- clerp(factor,a,b)
- clamp(lerp(factor,a,b),a,b)
- elerp(x,a,b)
- ramp( 3*x*x - 2*x*x*x, a, b)
- noise(a,b,c)
- { solid noise pattern (improved perlin noise) indexed with three numbers }
- rescale (X,Xa,Xb,Ya,Yb)
- lerp(ramp(X,Xa,Xb),Ya,Yb)
- crescale(X,Xa,Xb,Ya,Yb)
- clamp(rescale(X,Xa,Xb,Ya,Yb),Ya,Yb)
- Note : arithmetic priorites may not work as intended (for instance, 0-0+3 = -3), so adding brackets might be needed.
