iniTreeStructure (iniTree with vertices output)

LukeNeo's picture

Some days ago I posted iniTree plugin, that allow to draw recursive ternary trees. Gtoledo suggested to rewrite the plugin as a provider. Asking the community what is the best way to output a structure from a QCplugin, I used the method suggested by dust, and the implemented iniTreeStructure, which is a iniTree plugin witch outputs vertices positions.

Inputs:

  • numDiv (1-3): how many branches will have your tree.
  • growDelay: how much time the tree branches will spend in growing/shrinking.
  • aperture: tree aperture.
  • add/remove level: add/remove tree level.

Outputs:

  • vertices: tree vertices positions. They are ordered so as to be rendered using GL_LINES, so if you attach this output to GL line structure and use line type Line segments, the output will be right.

Re: iniTreeStructure (iniTree with vertices output)

nice one. pretty interesting. gl tools isn't running on my machine but i was able to swap out the gl structures for cl mesh creators and seems to run pretty well. had a few crashes but i think i was pushing the iteration count to high maybe.

nice share i actually think i might make a quick little render of some trees as the documentary I'm making for a class needs a trees of life, cell structures, and particle non locality graphics to go along with the osteopathic quantum physics principles of the doctor I'm filming.

i have been messing around looking at some various tree structures. like with turtle graphics and l system style tree fractals etc... was thinking about franz's plugin but this one is pretty cool to.

Thank you Guys! :)

@ dust: Feel free to use this plugin, I'm curious to see the possible applications of iniTreeStructure you have in mind. Just let me know if you'll use it in something concrete.
