A python package for generating 2D or 3D domain containing geometry shapes of interest, following a specified distribution.
pip install shapeforge# In a python environment where shapeforge is installed
shapeforge <path_to_config_file>
# For example:
shapeforge demo/config.yaml # edit yaml file as needed
# default outputs something as follows:| Image - 1 | Image - 2 |

A cell is an union of a domain and inclusions. At the moment, only rectangular domains are supported, while inclusions can be of any shape. The shapes can be described using positional and size parameters.
-
Positional parameters: These parameters define the position and orientation
of the shape. A set of
x,y,z,$\theta$ , and$\phi$ values defined for a pivot line, and a pivot point on this line of a arbitrary shape can be used to define its position and orientation in space.
In cell generation process, these parameters are tuned while the size
parameters are fixed. - Size parameters: These parameters define the size of the shape. These can be arbitrary, depending on the shape. For example, a sphere can be defined using its radius, while a cuboid can be defined using its length, width, and height. In cell generation process, these parameters are fixed upfront while the positional parameters are tuned to achieve the desired sptail distribution of inclusions in the cell domain.
