Detailed Description

template<unsigned DIM>
class FarhadifarTypeModifier< DIM >

A modifier class in which the target area property of each cell is updated. It is used to implement growth in vertex-based simulations. The precise growth rule is that proposed by:

template<class Archive >

void FarhadifarTypeModifier< DIM >::serialize	(	Archive &	archive,
		const unsigned int	version
	)			`[inline, private]`

Boost Serialization method for archiving/checkpointing. Archives the object and its member variables.

Parameters:

	archive	The boost archive.
	version	The current version of this class.

Reimplemented from AbstractTargetAreaModifier< DIM >.

Definition at line 70 of file FarhadifarTypeModifier.hpp.

template<unsigned DIM>

void FarhadifarTypeModifier< DIM >::UpdateTargetAreaOfCell ( const CellPtr pCell ) [inline, virtual]

Helper method to update the target area property of an individual cell.

Parameters:

pCell

pointer to a cell

Todo:: : which cells are apoptotic? if they get apoptotic during G2-phase then this line has to be changed

At division, daughter cells inherit the cell data array from the mother cell. Here, we assign the target area that we want daughter cells to have to cells that we know to divide in this time step.
