Constructor Detail

LineageFork

public LineageFork(GraphEdge e)

Constructor for Objects of type LineageFork provided an edge on which to fork.

Parameters:

e - the edge on which to fork.

Method Detail

applyToLineage

public void applyToLineage(java.util.ArrayList edgeList,
                           GraphTopology tree)

Description copied from class: LineageVisitor

Applies this visitor to a given Lineage. The private data members that [may] need to be accessed are passed as parameters so that this visitor can access them.

Specified by:

applyToLineage in class LineageVisitor

Parameters:

edgeList - the list of active edges (from the Lineage).

tree - the tree that the provided Lineage is operating on.

See Also:

LineageVisitor.applyToLineage(ArrayList, GraphTopology)

fork

private void fork(java.util.ArrayList edgeList,
                  GraphTopology tree)

Processes an n-furcation in the tree. Copies the current genome before the fork into all new cells. Updates the array of edges in the Lineage.

Parameters:

edgeList - the array of edges (should be from the Lineage) to operate on.

tree - the topology to which the edge belongs.
