Variations
Some types have variations of themselves. For example in addition to the Float type there is also Float2, Float3 and Float4. These contain multiple of the base type. For example where a 3 dimensional vector is expected as input a Float3 is used to pass 3 floating point values representing x, y and z. The Pack and Unpack nodes found in Operators can be used to convert supported types between these variations and their base types. For example the "Pack xyz" node has 3 Float inputs and 1 Float3 output.
