this probably will be regarded as a bad decision and will  make many people very angry

Documenting the blockdiagram with LaTex-Formulas is rather a niche-application - however, there exits this 2009 tech-demo

Hi Paul,

do you know of the polynomial evaluation?

I was too narrowly focused on doing a function-by-function conversion to G.  Using that simplifies the G code even more.

Btw. according to Wikipedia you calculate a3*ln(Rt)^3 and not ( a3*ln(Rt) )^3…

My mistake  --  which underscores the difficulty in reading text formulas.

Here is a fixed up version:

what I really detest about the formula node is, that you can initialize an array within the formula node, but only with a constant

e.g. float array[499]; 

trying to change that 499 to a variable breaks the formula node with error "index list expected"

however, arrays can be fed to the formula node as input and be re-used as output
