What is it?

morphologica is a library of header-only C++ code for data visualization.

morphologica 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:

• OpenGL visualizations of your program 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.

• Convenient maths. Several of the headers provide easy ways to do some of the mathematical basics you’re going to use regularly. Random number generators, vector maths, simple matrices, ranges, scaling and templated mathematical constants. You don’t have to use them, but they’re available.

• Configuration. morphologica allows you to set up a simulation parameter configuration system, using the JSON-based 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)

• OpenGL shader compute management morphologica provides a framework for managing shader compute programs in morph::gl::compute_manager. (Shader compute example)
