Finding a value between is trickier and may require some kind of implementation that belongs to preset_hub. Of course, then the question is how do you weigh such interpolation (or what function do you use?) and the next thing you know preset_hub has become expr and line and tons of other things in one, making it huge, redundant, and unwieldy to maintain. In other words, where do you draw the line? Will the linear interpolation be enough?</span></div><div class="yiv1747622100MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri", "sans-serif";color:#1F497D;"> </span></div><div class="yiv1747622100MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",
