 Many [[kcproperties|generator properties]] have a variance value.  This value describes the range in which the generator value can vary for each node.  Variance can be applied using several algorithms; for example, let's examine the following image. Many [[kcproperties|generator properties]] have a variance value.  This value describes the range in which the generator value can vary for each node.  Variance can be applied using several algorithms; for example, let's examine the following image.

 Here we have four identical, simple trunks, each one generating 23 simple branches with an absolute length of 10.0.  The only difference is the amount and type of variance on the "Spine:Length:Absolute" property. Here we have four identical, simple trunks, each one generating 23 simple branches with an absolute length of 10.0.  The only difference is the amount and type of variance on the "Spine:Length:Absolute" property.

 Click on the variance button of any generator property that has variance to bring up the Variance Editor (pictured below).  The button will be a gray "+/-" when the variance is 0.0; otherwise, the variance amount will be rendered with a pink background. Click on the variance button of any generator property that has variance to bring up the Variance Editor (pictured below).  The button will be a gray "+/-" when the variance is 0.0; otherwise, the variance amount will be rendered with a pink background.
