This topic provides a reference table for all automatic type conversions to field, sorted by merit.
Direct Conversions
This section lists all direct 
conversions to the field type. A 'Direct' conversion indicates a relation between very related types, such as integers and numbers, or 2D and 3D points. Though note that even these conversions can fail due to out-of-bounds issues, or be narrowing due to reduction.
| From | Explanation |
|---|---|
| integer | Creates a scalar field with the integer as constant value. |
| integer (big) | Creates a scalar field with the integer as constant value. |
| number | Creates a scalar field with the number as constant value. |
| vector | Creates a vector field with the vector as constant value. |
Fair Conversions
This section lists all fair 
conversions to the field type. A 'Fair' conversion indicates the types involved are closesly related in a data layout sense, though not necessarily in a conceptual sense. For example booleans and integers, or points and vectors. Although these conversions may fail or narrow, it is nevertheless considered decent practice to rely upon them in algorithms.
| From | Explanation |
|---|---|
| boolean | Creates a scalar field with value zero for false, one for true. |
