Vlab Welcome to the Vlab subcategory, your hub for exploring and discussing all aspects of the Virtual Laboratory (Vlab). Vlab is an interactive suite of programs that simulate plant development at an architectural level, using user-defined models. These models, crafted through scripts that mix L-system constructs and C/C++ programming statements, input into the simulators for rendering visuals, animations, and data output. Included are sample models to help you learn and develop your own unique models. Openalea [To be completed…] CPlantBox [To be completed…] Virtual Plant Lab The Virtual Plant Lab (VPL) is a collection of software packages in the Julia programming language with the aim of developing, simulating and visualizing functional-structural plant models. All the packages in VPL are written 100% in Julia with an MIT license (i.e., do as you wish with the code) and designed to be extensible by others. Feel free to ask any questions here regarding any of the packages in VPL or Julia programming in general. Helios Helios is a flexible and scalable 3D plant modeling framework made available as an open source library. Helios is computationally efficient, enabling of the simulation of large, canopy-scale problems at high detail. It allows for high flexibility in terms of generation and manipulation of geometry, including several plug-ins for procedural plant generation including dynamic growth. The radiation model is a strength of Helios, which can efficiently represent direct and diffuse solar radiation, artificial light sources, longwave emission, scattering, and radiation-based camera simulation. Many other model plug-ins are available relevant to plant-environment interaction simulation. GroIMP This is a dedicated space for users, developers, and enthusiasts who want to learn and discuss everything related to GroIMP. GroIMP, short for Growth Grammar-related Interactive Modeling Platform, is a powerful 3D modeling software used to simulate plant growth and interactions with their environment. This open-source tool enables users to model, visualize, and analyze plant growth using graph grammars and the programming language XL.
