Description - <name>.randomizationType
Name: <name>.randomizationType
Type: int
Description:
When searching for a new parameter set for an Attractor ChaosPro normally randomizes all parameters. Depending on the formula this might not be desirable, as then all randomizable parameters receive new values.
As an example, remember the flame formula: It consists of round about 50 transformations which can be switched on and off. You normally don't want to switch on all 50 transformations. Instead, you switch on only a few of them. Now if they are all randomizable, ChaosPro cannot know that it should only randomize a few of them and leave the others 0. Instead, it always (!) would randomize the weights of all 50 transformations and thus switch them on. This would result in a very slow flame fractal.
As such, you can define a randomization type. Currently the only supported values are "0" (default, if not specified) and "1". If "1", then ChaosPro allows you (when clicking on the search button) to randomize only 5 or 10 of them, the others are just set to the default value.
| 0 | ChaosPro will randomize each parameter which belongs to this group |
|---|---|
| 1 | ChaosPro will randomize some of the parameters (5 or 10, depending on what you select) which belong to this group. The remaining parameters belonging to this group will be set to the default value. |
Example:
- weightSinusoid.randomizationType=1; // Tell ChaosPro that this parameter belongs to randomization group "1", which means: Select some parameters of that group, randomize them, and set the remaining parameters of that group to the default value.
