Tk::Taxis Description

Perl extension for simulating biological taxes Tk::Taxis is a Perl module that simulates the biological movement called taxis.Organisms such as bacteria respond to gradients in chemicals, light, etc, by a process called taxis ('movement'). This module captures some of the spirit of this model of organismal movement. Bacteria are unable to measure differential gradients of chemicals along the length of their cells. Instead, they measure the concentration at a given point, move a little, measure it again, then if they find they are running up a favourable concentration gradient, they reduce their tumbling frequency (the probability that they will randomly change direction). In this way, they effect a random walk that is biased up the gradient.SYNOPSIS use Tk::Taxis; my $taxis = $mw->Taxis( -width => 200, -height => 100 )->pack(); $taxis->configure( -population => 20 ); $taxis->taxis() while 1; Requirements: · Perl
