node output value range

How can you easily find the output value range of each node? Do you just have to check the literature? For instance you use the map range node to map from a range of -1 to 1, to a range of 0 to 1 (I believe for the Voronoi node).

    Hi autobodhi ,

    That was probably not a Voronoi, because that doesn't output negative numbers (the grey output is distance and distance is never negative per definition!).

    But anyway, you can use Geometry Nodes with a simple setup to see the output values, for instance:

    Oh dang that's cool, Thanks for that.  


    ps.  but what if you're walking backwards?  jk

    A distance, per definition has the following 3 properties:

    the distance between A and A is 0, or: D(A,A) = 0,

    the distance between A and B is greater than or equal to 0, or: D(A,B) >= 0 and

    the distance between A and C is smaller than or equal to the distance between A and B plus the distance between B and C, or D(A,C) <= D(A, B) + D(B, C).

    Yeah, you just have to check unfortunately. It would be a helpful feature though if it said in the output socket tooltip or something!
