Description

Repeat the input tree while the condition is true. Before each iteration the condition port is evaluated. If the condition is true, the input graph is then executed. Otherwise the iteration stops.

You can also specify a limit to the number of iterations in the Max Repeat port in order to avoid repeating the iterations indefinitely when the condition is always true.
