Formostpartofthistutorialyouwillbemodifyingcellsort_2D_steppables.pyfilewhereallthesteppablesaredefined.

Exercise1

Runcellsort_2D.xmltogetherwithcellsort_2D_info_printer.pyandobservetheoutputontheconsole.

ModifyInfoPrinterSteppableincellsort_2D_steppables.pytooutputasurfaceofthecell.Whatdoyouobserve.Why?Whatisnecessarytogetcorrectvaluesofthecellsurface?

Now,outputvaluesofthecenterofmassofeachcell(cell.xCM,cell.yCM,cell.zCM).Whatarethevaluesofthisquantity?Whatdoyouneedtodoinordertogettruecenterofmass?

Finally,tocheckwhatothercellattributesofacellareaccessiblefromPythoninsertthefollowinglineinsidetheloopthatiteratesoverallthecellsinthesimulation

print“CellAttributes”,dir(cell)

Howwouldyoumodifythesteppablesothatdir(cell)informationisprintedforonlyonecell,notallofthem?

Exercise2

Runcellsort_2D.xmltogetherwithcellsort_2D_extra_attrib.pyandobservetheoutputontheconsole.

Exercise3

Insteadofusinglistasadditionalcellattribute,usedictionaryandrepeatexercise2.Youwillneedtochangetheline

pyAttributeAdder,listAdder=CompuCellSetup.attachListToCells(sim)

inthecellsort_2D_extra_attrib.pyto:

thenmodifyExtraAttributeCellsorttoworkwithdictionaryinsteadoflist.

Whenyouattachedadictionarytocellsthefollowinglinewillreturnadictionary,i.epyAttribwillbeadictionaryinthiscase.

pyAttrib=CompuCell.getPyAttrib(cell)

Forclarityyoumaychangethislinetosomethinglikethat:
