Package ch.unizh.ini.friend.topology Description

Classes that help assign a topology to the cells. The interface Retinotopic means that the object has a RetinotopicLocation (basically a Point2D).

Static methods in RetinotopicLocation can find cells in the same or different layer that are corresponding, in a certain direction, etc.

HexDirection specifies a wrapping direction in the base hex coordinate system.

In order to use this notion of retinotopy, cells must correctly implement Retinotopic, e.g., they must have a RetinotopicLocation and correctly set it. This initialization is done, for example, in the static methods that construct arrays of cells from a preceeding layer.
