# Width

## Overview

The Width node is used to control the width attribute of the fibres, this is then passed to the renderer for the final output width used at rendertime. These are global scale values, so the Width Multiplier parameter should be used to reduce the width accordingly.

## Inputs

Input | Description
--- | ---
0 Data Flow | Fibres
1 Strands | Groom/Guide Curves with a width attribute

## Width

Parameter | Description
--- | ---
Width Multiplier | an overall multiplier for the width.
Width Random | a means of randomizing the effect.
Base/Tip Width | the width to be used at the base/tip of the fibre.
Minimum Width | in many cases you don’t want the fibres width to reach 0 ( or a very small number ) so this parameter lets you control a minimum width, if the resulting widths are below this they will be clamped accordingly.
