**Clamp** limits a *numerical value* to a given range, so that it isn't lower than the lower boundary, or higher than the upper boundary.

|           |        |            |          |
| --------- | ------ | ---------- | -------- |
| `Value`   | `From` | `To`       | `Result` |
| 50        | 0      | 100        | 50       |
| 120       | 0      | 100        | 100      |
| -20       | 0      | 100        | 0        |
| -270      | -180   | 180        | -180     |
| -20, 1100 | 0, 0   | 1920, 1080 | 0, 1080  |

## Attributes

| Attribute   | Type                                          | Description                                                                                     |
| ----------- | --------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `Data Type` | **Drop-down**                                 | The type of data that will be plugged into the `Input` **Sockets**.                             |
| `From`      | *Defined in the `Data Type`* ***Attribute***. | The default lower boundary of the range, if there is nothing attached to the `From` **Socket**. |
| `To`        | *Defined in the `Data Type`* ***Attribute***. | The default upper boundary of the range, if there is nothing attached to the `To` **Socket**.   |

## Inputs

| Input             | Type                                          | Description                                                           |
| ----------------- | --------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| *Pulse Input* (►) | **Pulse**                                     | A standard input **Pulse**, to trigger the execution of the **Node**. |
| `Value`           | *Defined in the `Data Type`* ***Attribute***. | The value to be clamped within the range defined in `From` and `To`.  |
| `From`            | *Defined in the `Data Type`* ***Attribute***. | The lower boundary of the range.                                      |
| `To`              | *Defined in the `Data Type`* ***Attribute***. | The upper boundary of the range.                                      |

## Outputs

| Output             | Type                                          | Description                                                                                                                          |
| ------------------ | --------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| *Pulse Output* (►) | **Pulse**                                     | A standard output **Pulse**, to move onto the next **Node** along the *logic branch*, once this **Node** has finished its execution. |
| `Result`           | *Defined in the `Data Type`* ***Attribute***. | The value of `Value`, restricted to fall within the boundary defined by `From` and `To`.                                             |
