GPArt53 Manual


This is manual of GPArt53.
There are 4 windows.
 Initial black window: mutation and exchange place, or work space.
 Tree window: show tree structure of selected data, you can modify tree node function or
    inner variants.
 Gene pool window: you can import datas and save to this window, or add from work space to
 this gene pool.
 Zoom window:show zoom image.

(1) Work space
  There are 5*4=20 cells.
  If click on the cell , its cell will be framed by blue color, that shows that its cell is
  selected. 
  If click on the cell with shift key ( shift + click), its cell will be framed by red color.
  That shows that its cell is selected as seed for exchange or mutation.
  If shift+click on the red cell again, its cell will return to white frame state.

  Menu;
   (RunMenu)
		   ResetAll :  Evolve all cells from nothing.
			 EvolveSelect: Evolve cells using selected cells(red frame) as seed, and exchange or
            mutation those red cell data. Those red cell will not change.
       Option; 
          You can set various settings by this dialod.
					MaxDepth: If you ResetAll , this depth is used. 
          maxConstantvalue: This is for constant terminal node.In really I divided this value
						  												 by 1000.0. You dont need to change this value.
					MutationNum(per tree): This is mutation time for mutation per 1 data.
			    ExchangeNum(per tree): This is exchamge time for exchange per 1 data.
					ReverseNodeRatio:  This is ratio to become reversenode at the time of mutation
																	      new born node.If this value is 3 ,then it will become
				              		            reverse node 1 per 3 times.
					CopyNodeRatio: This is ratio to become copynode.
			    TermnalMutationDepth: When node is reset to new node by mutation , this depth is
			                             is used for new born data.
          CopyTreeMutationRatio: When node is reset to new node by mutation, this node become
				   			               to copynode by this ratio.

          RandomeExchange: Exchange occur at any node location.
			    SimilarExchange: Exchange occur at similar node location.

(2)Tree window
     You can view tree structure of selected(blue) cell.
    By click on the node , its node will inverted to black, and it is selected.
    If click with option key(option + click) , its node will be condensed.
		By option+click again it will return to normal state.
     V: vector node
	   S: scalar node
     C: terminal constant scalar
     CP: terminal constant vector
     SRCP: terminal input vector
     CPY: copy node
     Green node: reverse point node
     Red node: stopper point node

     You can find my secret of GP tree by this window.
		 I use 2 new methods in this program, reverse(and stopper) node and copynode.
     Initial coordinate vector(x,y,0) is send to terminal node, and send to first node as output
     vector.
     At reverse node , its vector is send to terminal again(!!!)
     At stopper node, it will resend to the direction it comes(to left).
     The copynode is copy tree from another one it steal data(vector or scalar) form copied
      node.

(3)Gene Window
     Pool Menu:
        Import: import one data.
			  Import All: import all data in the selected folder
   
     Click on the gene window, it will be selecte and fremed by blue color.
		 Click with shift key(shift+click), its cell will be added to selected cells.
     click on the selected cell(or cells) and darag to the Work window , those data will
      be imported to the work window.
		  Click on the selected cell in the work window and drag to the gene pool , and its data will
		   be added to the gene pool.

(4)Zoom Window
		Double click on the selected cell on the work window, and zoom window will appear
	  and draw zoomed images of its data. By commandkey and dot(command+dot) it will stop.
    You can select center point by click on the screen.
		You can magnify ratio by resolution menu.
    Option:
      Fine:       make more fine image
      Average: make more and more fine image

You can make quicktime movie by this program if you want.

If you have any question , give me mail.
If you get good data , send it to me please.

Good luck.
