From zero to tomatoFrom zero to tomatoRunning GroIMP Install with executable file The easiest way to install GroIMP is to run an executable file. The executable file is downloadable on the grogra website. It can then be executed like many common installer file by double clicking on it. This trigger the installation of the software. The file will also automatically create a shortcut.

This requires a suitable setup of your file browser, see the documentation of the browser and your Java installation if it does not already work.

Running your first RGG modelFrom zero to tomatoA simple tomato plant model RGG Code structure introduction The RGG programming language repents the core of almost all GroIMP models. This language extends java and implements the XL-language specification (), to enable rule based graph manipulation. This leads to a programming language based on two paradigms, the object orientation of java and the rule based structure of XL. In order to separate these t…

Preliminary steps We start a new project by opening a new RGG template model (File -> New -> RGG Project). The simple model that we are going to create will have the following structure:

A simple tomato plant modelFrom zero to tomatoGeneral Introduction Leaf triangulation Triangulation is the process where a (ordered) set of triangles is generated out of a (unordered) set of points. The result is a set of triangles, now called faces, that can be directly drawn. Let's see the following set of 2D point:

This includes computing how surfaces appear based on materials, lighting, camera position, and other visual effects.
