Summary of controls
Roll the mouse over any control and information about the control will pop-up.
Outputs
Plotting panel
To view
- Specified values, i.e. kapar or a particular morphogen (factor) select from drop down menu top right and tick Plot current factor
- Output variables, e.g. growth rate, tick Plot output value and make selection from the two drop down menus.
- Plotting problems means that it is a good idea to tick/untick Monochrome control.
- thickness, tick/untick Menu:Plot:Thickness
To show/hide
- thickness, tick/untick Menu:Plot:Thickness
- mesh, tick/untick FE edges
- axes, tick/untick Menu:Plot:Show/Hide axes
- legend, tick/untick Menu:Plot:Show/Hide legend - also Set legend to choose heading
To set/modify values of morphogens (best done in the interaction function)
- Choose morphogen (list box), Click on Select Tool:Factors, '---' list box to select action and click on appropriate button (Add constant or Add radial, etc).
- at individual nodes (vertices). Choose morphogen (list box), Click on Select Tool:Factors, '---' list box to select action and click on node.
To clip the mesh (hide part of the mesh)
- Tick Clipping plane and choose the plane with Az (azimuth), ti (tilt), D
- Tick Clip and select the region to hide by using morphogen values (click on Mgens button)
Snapshots
Saved in png format in the project snapshots subdirectory
- Clicking Take snapshot makes a png file copy of the plotting screen. At the same time a copy of the interaction function (relabelled to have .txt as a suffix) is also made - to help document the snapshot.
- Publication quality screenshot is made by changing the action of the Snapshot button using Menu:Misc:Hi-res snapshots and choosing a number of dots per inch.
VRML, OBJ, FIG
To export the current mesh
- VRML, to interactively view the mesh using a web browser export the mesh as a VRML file, Menu:Mesh:Save VRML. We use such files to make 3D prints.
- FIG, for Matlab figure files.
Movies
By default movies are uncompressed and stored in the projects movies subdirectory
- To compress select Menu:Movie:Codec - we currently favour Motion JPEG avi
- To automatically convert the output to flash, .flv, select Menu:Movie:Convert to flash.
- Click Record Movie to start creating a movie. The button will change to Stop Movie.
