Detailed Description

template<unsigned DIM>
class PottsBasedCellPopulation< DIM >

A facade class encapsulating a cell population under the Cellular Potts Model framework.

Contains a group of cells and maintains the associations between CellPtrs and elements in a specialised PottsMesh class.

The code currently requires the PottsMesh object to be fixed, in the sense that no new nodes or elements can be added.

Definition at line 63 of file PottsBasedCellPopulation.hpp.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<unsigned DIM>

PottsBasedCellPopulation< DIM >::PottsBasedCellPopulation	(	PottsMesh< DIM > &	rMesh,
		std::vector< CellPtr > &	rCells,
		bool	deleteMesh = `false`,
		bool	validate = `true`,
		const std::vector< unsigned >	locationIndices = `std::vector<unsigned>()`
	)			`[inline]`

Create a new cell population facade from a mesh and collection of cells.

There must be precisely one CellPtr for each PottsElement in the mesh.

Parameters:

	rMesh	reference to a PottsMesh
	rCells	reference to a vector of CellPtrs
	deleteMesh	set to true if you want the cell population to free the mesh memory on destruction (defaults to false)
	validate	whether to validate the cell population when it is created (defaults to true)
	locationIndices	an optional vector of location indices that correspond to real cells
