Hello Kevin, <br><br>
<blockquote type="cite">What would it take to get an organism to live inside a mesh or stream <br>it's image data <br></blockquote><br><br>I'm not 100% clear on what you mean here by "live inside the mesh" or by
<br>"stream it's image data". <br><br>
<blockquote type="cite">What would it take to make an organism produce tube <br>spatial objects instead of meshes? <br></blockquote><br><br>The framework is designed such that layers are interchangeable provided <br>they meet the design functionality of the abstract base class. In the case of the geometric layer the requirements listed as pure virtual functions in:
<br><br><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.sfu.ca/%7Ecmcintos/IDO/doxygen/html/classmial_1_1_geometric.html#_details">http://www.sfu.ca/~cmcintos/IDO/doxygen/html/classmial_1_1_geometric.html#_details</a> <br>
<br>Mainly, aside from some house cleaning functionality it needs to have a set <br>of connected nodes (in this case the medial axis of the tubes), the ability <br>to generate a binary image (denoting which pixels lie inside/outside) and
<br>the ability to initialize an organism from a binary image. So you could use <br>the tubespatialobject for the geometric layer of the organism. <br><br>Also please note, you only need to meet this requirements if you want 100% compatibility with
<br>the existing framework. So for example, being able to deform with both the physEuler and levelSetLayer <br>physics layers, run all existing behaviors, deformations, sensors, etc. <br><br>This was the main idea behind the framework. Being able to replace modules with ones
<br>that extend current functionality but maintain compatibility, but also giving the freedom to break <br>apart from existing functionality with minimal cost. <br><br>-Chris
