In the absence of a polariser (there is no polariser in this example) growth will be isotropic, in other words growth in the plane of the canvas will be the average of what is specified for ''Kapar'' and ''Kaper'' (''A'' side) and ''Kbpar'' and ''Kbper'' (''B'' side).<br>

Tutorials on the Shape modelling toolbox

The models shown in these tutorials illustrate features of the AAMToolbox software. They are not designed to understand the shape and appearance modelling which is better done from the published literature for example.
Viewing these pages. Some versions of Firefox and Explorer do not create satisfactory prints even though you can view the pages with no problems. Chrome does appear to produce good printouts.

Three ways to use AAMToolbox

1) Analysing shapes. i.e. the arrangement of points around a shape

2) Analysing shape and appearance. In addition to the points around a shape, analyse the appearance (grey scale or colour) within the shape.

3) Analysing 3D shapes

1 Analysing 2D shapes using the Graphical User Interface

How to use the tutorial. First download and install the AAMToolbox. A zip file containing the project (PRJ_CartoonFaces) is available here. Download and unzip into a directory. Then, from Matlab, change directory into the project

cd PRJ_CartoonFaces

Open AAMToolbox and do the same as the following.
