Note: Any components in the original field (  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   manifold #!EF 
) that are position or connection dependent are mapped onto the 
output samples. In either case, the component in the output field 
will be position dependent ("dep" "positions"). (Because the output of Sample 
is a set of unconnected positions, you cannot use mapped samples 
as input to modules that need to interpolate values, such as 
DivCurl or MapToPlane). #!N #!N Components #!N #!N Creates a new 
"positions" component. All other components, except for "connections," are propagated to 
the output. #!N #!N Example Visual Programs #!CForestGreen #!N #!N  #!F-adobe-courier-bold-r-normal--18*
