| | {{ :dev:event-window-10.png?300|}} The image at right (click to enlarge) shows the indexing scheme used for sites within an ''EventWindow''. Both 2D 'coord' numbering and a 1D 'site number' approach are offered. |
| |
| | The ''getCoord(siteNum)'' function converts an 1D index (which is an ''Unsigned(6)'' ) to a 2D coordinate (which is a quark ''C2D''). The ''getSiteNumber(coord)'' convert ''C2D'' back to 1-d ''Unsigned(6)''. The quark ''C2D'' has ''getX()'' and ''getY()'' methods to access the //x// and //y// coordinate values individually. |
| | |
| | In general, when code is referring to individual fixed sites within the event window, the 1D coordinate system is used (see the 'First' element below for an example). Two-dimensional C2D indexing is more commonly used when there is some flexibility depending on geometry or relative positions. |

| EventWindow ew; | EventWindow ew; |
| Void behave(){ | Void behave(){ |
| ew[1]=ew[0]; | ew[1]=ew[0]; // Copy self one site west |
| } | } |
| } | } |
| In the ''changeColor()'' of this ''Node'' element, we use ''ARGB getColor()'' to give new color values. This ''getColor()'' returns a array with Four values: //Opacity//, //Red//, //Green// and //Blue//. | In the ''changeColor()'' of this ''Node'' element, we use ''ARGB getColor()'' to give new color values.

| Like other Neurons, our ''Node'' will be fired by neighbors. In this simplified case, only the //left neighbors// can trigger our ''Nodes''. This time we need to scan the whole ''EventWindow''. To decide which neighbors are located to the left, a 2-dimensional coordinate will be more convenient. We assign //(x,y)// coordinate to each site of the ''EventWindow'' instead of the 1-dimensional index from 0 to 40. We noticed the index numbers from 5 to 40 are different from the old version MFM simulator. It's better to start using this new //site map// now. The ''EventWindow.getCoord(siteNum)'' converts 1-dimensional index to 2-dimensional coordinates. The quark ''C2D'' has ''getX()'' and ''getY()'' to interpret the //(x,y)// better. | Like other Neurons, our ''Node'' will be fired by neighbors.

To decide which neighbors are located to the left we use C2D coordinate. Those Atoms with negative x coordinate are to the left of our ''Node''. |
