Detailed Description

Generate a Povray (*.pov) file to visualize a NN.

This file can then be used with Povray to render an image in the bitmap formats supported by Povray. See http://www.povray.org for more information about Povray.

A good command line to generate a high quality image is:
x-povray +Iid-123.pov +Oamygdala.tga +W1600 +H1200 +V +D +X +FT +Q9 +QR +A0.9

Note: A Povray object should be destroyed as fast as possible to close the file!

Note: MP support is not yet implemented!

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Povray::Povray (  int    ID, string    headline, string    dir = "" )

Use this constructor if you want a complete network Parameters: an  ID, for instance a genome ID headline  a string that will appear as headline on the image dir  the directory the povray file will be written to

Povray::Povray (  Network *    net, int    ID, string    headline, string    dir )

Make a Povray file of a network instance Parameters: net  A reference to the Network object we're going to work on ID  an ID, for instance a genome ID headline  a string that will appear as headline on the image dir  the directory the povray file will be written to

Member Function Documentation

void Povray::mkPovHeader (  int    Id )  [protected]

Create a header for Povray Parameters: id  the ID of the network. This could be the geneID of a genome

void Povray::WriteNetwork (    )

Writes the whole network to a file.

void Povray::WriteNeuron (  Neuron *    theNeuron )  [protected]

Write one neuron to the current Povray file Parameters: theNeuron  the neuron to write

void Povray::WriteSynapse (  Neuron *    pre, Neuron *    post )  [protected]

Write a synapse between 2 neurons. Parameters: pre  a pointer to the presynaptic neuron post  a pointer to the postsynaptic neuron

void Povray::WriteTree (  Neuron *    rootNeuron, int    depth )

Write the current neuron, and recurse through the tree starting from it, writing all neurons and synapses. Parameters: currentNeuron  the root neuron depth  the recursion depth
