It exhibits several features that make it suitable for the field of biological and ALife modelling: The “modelling backbone” consists in the language XL. It is fully integrated, e.g., the user can interactively select the rules to be applied. GroIMP provides classes that can be used in modelling: Turtle commands, further geometrical classes like bicubic sur… text/html 2026-03-20T16:01:08+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://dokuwiki.grogra.de/doku.php?id=01_user_documentation:03_interacting_with_groimp&rev=1774022468&do=diff Interacting with GroIMP This section present how to interact with the platform.

Relational Growth Grammars Growth grammars are a rule-based approach to the modelling of dynamic systems. In contrast to conventional imperative programming languages, rule-based approaches provide a natural and concise way of modelling: Most systems to be modeled behave according to a set of rules, and our perception works this way and not imperatively using a list of operations which have to b… text/html 2026-03-20T15:56:03+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://dokuwiki.grogra.de/doku.php?id=01_user_documentation:08_light&rev=1774022163&do=diff Ray tracers GroIMP contains two built-in ray tracers, which can utilize a set of different ray processors. The ray tracers can be used for both light modeling and rendering. To use the renderer, select it as your Render View: When starting any of these renderers, your Scene will be rendered as an image using the current camera viewpoint. In case it takes too long, you can interrupt the process with stop. In some cases, this might not work and GroIMP dies, so be sure to save your project b… text/html 2026-03-20T15:58:11+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://dokuwiki.grogra.de/doku.php?id=01_user_documentation:09_math&rev=1774022291&do=diff Math in GroIMP Features and functions for mathematical and geometrical evaluation and manipulation of GroIMP models.
