Tutorial on the basic interaction function

The large number of comments do two things. Firstly, they provide guidence on how to structure a growth model - in other words how one might organise thoughts on how things grow - the polarity regulation network, the gene regulation network and the specified growth regulation network. Secondly, they help us remember how to do certain things without having to look them up in the manual (that is not always complete and up to date). It is easier to delete what is not wanted than to look up and add what is wanted.

Remember: a GFtbox model comprises two parts, the Mesh and the Interaction function. At the point that the interaction function is created the Mesh exists (shape and general physical properties) but the regulatory systems do not - it is these that you add to the interaction function. A loose analogy is to say that the Mesh corresponds to the cell membranes and cytoplasm (the structure) and the Interaction function corresponds to the nucleus and DNA. You need both to grow - and they must be compatible with each other.

This file is output automatically on clicking Panel: Edit in a newly saved project.
Once the file has been edited save it in the usual way from the Matlab editor. The project as whole can be saved under a different name using Panel: Save as. This will automatically create a new copy of the current interaction function, but with the new name and in the new project directory.

The code has been divided into Sections to help with the tutorial.

Section 15
% Here you may write any functions of your own, that you want to call from
% the interaction function, but never need to call from outside it.
% Remember that they do not have access to any variables except those
% that you pass as parameters, and cannot change anything except by
% returning new values as results.
% Whichever section they are called from, they must respect the same
% restrictions on what modifications they are allowed to make to the mesh.

% For example:

Section 16
% function m = do_something( m )
%   % Change m in some way.
% end

% Call it from the main body of the interaction function like this:
%       m = do_something( m );
