Three ways to use GFtbox
There are three ways to use the GFtbox.
- Doing everything from the GUI. This is the best way to start. See (1,2) below.
- Do only some things from the GUI. This is the best way to develop ideas. Use the GUI to generate the mesh (canvas) and create growth factors (morphogens - in other words declare the variables) but capturing your ideas on how the regulatory processes work in, what we call, the interaction function. See (3) below.
- Without the GUI, run a pre-existing project. For example, run many examples (instances) on a cluster. This is the best way to explore the parameter space of a model for comparison with biological observations. We have used this extensively but the code is not yet ready for general use.

Note: this model should have many more finite elements |
2 Adding polariser

3 Getting serious: Interaction functions
Interaction functions - programmatic modelling
