Examples

The following example creates a surface sampling the output_curve1 curve of the plug-in every 100 ms for 10 seconds:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<SKIN language_version="1.2.2">
   <!--Create a surface with output curve 1 of the plug-in to display it later in a surface graph-->
	<CURVE_FROM_PARAM_OVER_TIME id="mySurface1"  curve_id="dsp.output_curve1" name="Output1 Surface" duration_ms="10000" refresh_time_ms="100"/>
</SKIN>
