PopLooper¶

constructor¶

PopLooper();

Initializes some variables.

destructor¶

virtual ~PopLooper();

The destructor deletes all population managed by the PopLooper object.

tryMerge¶

int tryMerge();

Tries to merge as many populations as possible. Two populations can be merged if they have the same name, the same species ID, the same agent type and the same actions.

addPop¶

int addPop(PopBase *pPop);

pPop

Pointer to population to be added.

Adds the specified population to the collection of populations.

removePopByName¶

PopBase *removePopByName(const std::string sSpeciesName, bool bAddToExtinct);

sSpeciesName

Name of population to remove.

bAddToExtinct

If true, the population is added to the vector of extinct populations.

Removes the secified population from the collection of populations.

removePopByIndex¶

PopBase *removePopByIndex(int iIndex, bool bAddToExtinct);

iIndex

Index of population to be removed.

bAddToExtinct

If true, the population is added to the vector of extinct populations.

Removes the secified population from the collection of populations.

doStep¶

int doStep(float fStep);

fStep

Current simulation step.

Calls the initializeStep() method of all managed populations, then loops through all priority levels, calling all managed populations’ doActions() method, and finally calls the finalizeStep() method for all populations.

preLoop¶

virtual int  preLoop();

Calls the preLoop() method of all managed populations.

postLoop¶

virtual int  postLoop();

Calls the postLoop() method of all managed populations.

preWrite¶

virtual int  preWrite(float fTime);

Calls the preWrite() method of all managed populations.

getNumPops¶

size_t  getNumPops();

Returns the number of managed populations.

getDead¶

const popvec  &getDead();

Returns the vector of extinct populations.,

getMaxID¶

idtype  getMaxID();

Returns the highest ID used by this population.

getPopByName¶

virtual PopBase *getPopByName(const std::string sSpeciesName);

sSpecies

Name of wanted population.

(Implementation of PopFinder::getPopByName())

This method returns a pointer to the population with the specified name, or NULL if it can’t be found or doesn’t exist.
