Detailed Description

A temporary cell object used in the NolfiEncoding encoding method. The NolfiCells are always contained in a NolfiNet. The cell has an ability to sprout a L-System axon tree from itself, where the shape of the tree is determined by parameters encoded in the genome.

Add the genes for a single cell (with given index) to the given genome.

Parameters:

g	Genetic container where the genes are placed. This is typically NolfiEncoding.
i	Index number of the gene. It will be used during ontogenesis to access the gene.
types	The number of different neuron types in the genome. The values are always a power of two; typical values are 8, 16, 32, 64.
xsize	X-dimension of the cellular space of the encoding method. A power of two. Typical value is 16.
ysize	Y-dimension of the cellular space of the encoding method. Typical value is 16.
params	Other params in a String Map.

Initializes the cell.

Read the cell with given index description from given genetic container.

Parameters:

g	Genetic container that contains the genes to individualize the cell.
i	The identifier number for the cell. Same as in addGenesTo.

Grows an "axon tree" L-System from the cell.

Parameters:

result	An array where the coordinates of the axon tips are stored.
scale	parameter tells usually the size of the neural space.

Returns: The 2-dimensional coordinates of the cell in the cell space.

Sets the coordinates of the cell in the cell space.

See also: setPos(double, x, double, y)

Sets the coordinates of the cell in the cell space.

See also: setPos(const, Coord2D&, npos)

Sets the connection radius of the axon tips. This radius determines how far away the tip can be from another neuron to create an actual connection.

Parameters:

r	Typical values for the radius are 0.5...10.

The NolfiCell is an temporary object. The internal neuron index tells it's identity in the final network. If the value is EMPTYID (-1), the neuron will not exist in the final network.

Draws the image of the cell and it's axon tree into the given graphics driver.

Parameters:

dc	Encapsulates PostScript graphics driver.
scale	Drawing scale. The size of the image is multiplied by this factor.

Implementation

Existence of the neuron.

Coordinates.

Axon segment angle.

Axon segment length.

Initial weight for all the connections.

Initial bias.

I/O neuron semantical identifier.

Connection radius from axon tips and branching points.

Neuron index in the final brain.
