Detailed Description

Temporary network object representing the 2-dimensional cell space used by NolfiEncoding.

Definition at line 158 of file nolfinet.h.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

NolfiNet (  int    inputs,
int    maxhidden,
int    outputs,
double    xsize,
double    ysize,
double    tipRadius,
double    axonScale
) 
 

Standard constructor.

Parameters:
tipRadius  Global axon tip radius value. This value is not used if the tip radius is encoded in the genome for each separate cell ("auto-cell").

Definition at line 319 of file nolfinet.cc.

Member Function Documentation

int connect (  ANNetwork &    net )  const [protected, virtual]
 

Connects the units in a FreeNetwork according to the connections between the temporary cells.

Returns:
The number of connections in the network.

void decodeFrom (  const Gentainer &    g )  [virtual]
 

Decodes the rewriting rules from the given genome.

Definition at line 343 of file nolfinet.cc.

Referenced by NolfiEncoding::execute().

String drawEPS (    )  const
 

Draws an EPS image of the cell space, with the axon trees and all.

Returns:
The EPS image in a string.

Referenced by NolfiEncoding::execute(), and CangelosiEncoding::execute().

ANNetwork * growNet (    )  [virtual]
 

Executes the ontogeny of the cell space; starts rewriting from a single mother cell, rewrites a few times, grows the axons, etc.

Returns:
The resulting phenotypic network topology, ready to be inserted as the individual's "brainplan" attribute.

bool indexCells (    )  [protected, virtual]
 

Gives the cells a neuron index number and a neuron type specifier according to their location on the 2D-space.

Returns:
TRUE return value tells that the indexing has resulted in a network with at least one input unit and all output units.

void indexHiddens (  int    hiddens )  [protected, virtual]
 

Gives hidden neurons an index value in the final network.

void indexInputs (    )  [protected, virtual]
 

Gives input neurons an index value in the final network.

void indexOutputs (  int    hiddens )  [protected, virtual]
 

Gives output neurons an index value in the final network.

Definition at line 33 of file extnolfi.cc.

void removeDuplicates (  int &    rOutputs )  [protected, virtual]
 

Removes input and output cells that have duplicate ID values.

Definition at line 44 of file extnolfi.cc.

void resolveTypes (  int &    inputs,
int &    hiddens,
int &    outputs
)  [protected, virtual]
 

Resolves types (input, hidden or output) for each cell according to their location in the cell space.

The behaviour of this method is controlled by the mInputBorder and mOutputBorder variables.
