morphologica

A library of supporting code for numerical modelling (JSON config, HDF5 data, Modern OpenGL visualization)

This header-only C++ code provides simulation support facilities for simulations of dynamical systems, agent-based models or, in fact, any program that needs dynamic, runtime visualization.

It helps with:

• Visualizing your model while it runs. A modern OpenGL visualization scheme called morph::Visual provides the ability to visualise 2D and 3D graphs of surfaces, lines, bars, scatter plots and quiver plots with minimal processing overhead. Here's a morph::Visual helloworld and a more complete example. It's almost as easy to draw a graph in C++ with morphologica as it is to do so in Python.
   
• Configuration: morphologica allows you to easily set up a simulation parameter configuration system, using the JSON reading and writing abilities of morph::Config. (morph::Config Example)
   
• Saving data from your simulation. morphologica provides a set of easy-to-use convenience wrappers (morph::HdfData) around the HDF5 C API. By saving data in a standard format, it is easy to access simulation data in python, MATLAB or Octave for analysis and graphing. (HdfData Example)
