Following on the first release, a major update for the Wallacei plugin has been released. This update addresses several issues that have been reported by the beta testers of the plugin, primarily the students of the Emergent Technologies and Design Program at the Architectural Association.
Here below is a summary of the fixes and improvements that are included in this release:
General:
Added Graph titles above each graph.
General bug fixes.
Objective Space Component (Manual and Octopus):
When using the component, there was no default ‘scale’; therefore it will only display solutions when a number is fed into the scale input. This has been fixed so that the default scale is ‘1’.
Reduced the size of the legend so that it is takes up less space on screen.
Objective Space (Octopus):
When analysing solutions with only 3 fitness criteria, the fourth and fifth fitness criteria would activate, differentiating colour and scale even though there are no 4th or 5th criteria inputted. This has been fixed so that when analysing problems with only 3 fitness criteria, the 4th and 5th criteria are not activated.
Diamond Fitness Chart (Manual and Octopus):
When selecting a generation/individual that doesn’t exist, the diamond graph is still drawn on screen. This has been fixed so that the graph is only drawn when a valid individual is selected.
When inputting the names of the fitness criteria, it would repeat the name for the first fitness criteria for all other criteria. This has been fixed.
SD Graph (Manual and Octopus):
Added option to Cull ‘boundary’ generations that have very large (or very small) SD Values.
FV Graph (Manual and Octopus):
Added option to Cull ‘boundary’ solutions that have very large (or very small) Fitness Values.
SD Trendline (Manual and Octopus):
Added option to Cull ‘boundary’ generations that have very large (or very small) Fitness Values.
The component now outputs the SD factor for each generation.
Mean Value Trendline (Manual and Octopus):
Added option to Cull ‘boundary’ generations that have very large (or very small) Fitness Values.
Encode Genome:
The list length for each inserted genepool is now outputted automatically.
Created two separate inputs, one for the Genepool names and the other for the Genepools.
