Minimum function

The Minimum function determines the lowest value in the nodes, sets of numeric nodes, or numbers in parameters.

Parameter: input, input ...

The numeric nodes to compare. These can come from recurring or nonrecurring source nodes, the results of other functions, or values that you specify.

You cannot specify a default value (or constant) for the input parameters of this function but you can specify a variable with a default value and then pass that variable as an input parameter to this function.  For more information see Specifying Default Values for Functions that Allow Recurring Nodes as Input.

Attention: In the Mapping Editor, if you chain together a recurring source node, a function that does not support recurring nodes, and then map that result to this function, during run time you might get an unexpected result.  For more information see Limitations in Combining Other Math Functions or Literals.

Returns: number

The minimum value of all nodes in the parameters. For recurring nodes, values for every occurrence in the recurring set is used to find the minimum. If any parameter is not a number, not a set of numeric nodes, or is an empty node set, the function returns NaN (not a number).
