Description

Interface Summary

Avatar	Defines the methods required in order to be able to draw an individual member of a Visualizable community.
Colorable	Defines method to change the color of a model object.
ControlAction	Defines two callback methods: setState (which takes one String parameter); and setProperty (which takes a String name and a value); There are two pre-defined states "stop" and "start".
Painter	This interface defines the methods which allow painting of specific visualization model items.
VisualizationFactory	Defines the methods required to construct objects necessary for visualization of a particular application.
VisualizationModel	Defines a model to which population delegates its graphical rendering.
Visualizer	Defines the public operations required for a Visualizer.

Display Package

These classes are for visualizing your evolutionary computations. The following interfaces and classes make up the core of the display package:

• Applet_Darwinian: an extension of JApplet which will create a set of "border" panels and in the center, a panel which implementsVisualizer;
• Individual: an individual object model as part of VisualizationModel and has properties of color, and position;
• Painter: the code for actually painting the visualization of the model and individuals;
• VisualizationModel: the model for the visualizer: a set of Individual objects;
• Visualizer: the class responsible for rendering the model.

For an example, see the Peppered Moth example, in particular the Applet_PepperedMoth class.
