Variables that need to be seen in the GUI (morphogens, growth factors, signals, etc.) are always set up (declared) from the GUI using Morphogen Panel. We have evolved a naming convention
| prefixes |
| id_ |
identity factor
|
| s_ |
signalling factor
|
| v_ |
visual monitor
|
| f_ |
finite element monitor
|
|
| suffixes |
_p, _l, _a, _i
|
Full details of types of morphogens and factors
| Pre-defined variables |
| dt |
computational step size
|
| realtime |
virtual time of the model
|
|
| Pre-defined functions |
| Steps(m) |
current step number in Mesh m
|
| pro(k,id) |
promote by k in regions designated by factor, id
|
| inh(k,id) |
inhibit by k in regions designated by factor, id
|
| local_setproperties( m ) |
initialise Mesh properties
