Mantis

Mantis{Grasshopper,Mathematica}
A new tool for grasshopper named Mantis which allows to interact with Mathematica directly, the first 3 tools are for generative Cellular Automata "CA"

Mantis v0.3

There are 2Main tools of Mantis v0.3:
1-Mantis_Cellular Automata

*5 Components for generating cellular automata 1d & 2d & 1d Totalistic 3colors + Find the nearest rule in Elementary CA for a list as shown in the image pattern example,and There are 1 component for generate & preview the 1dCA rules.


2-Mantis_Geometry
 
A) Mantis_Mathematica Equation which enable writing equations as Mathematica technique and get the result as a string
and for using this tool, don't write any equations which has an image result.

B) Mantis_Fractal tree which generate a self similarity branches which can be used as a line-length as a numeric order (for example as fibonacci)(iF you saw an error click on don,t show me this massege again"don,t worry)

C) Mantis_Nearest Value which  gives the list of elements(strings or numbers) to which a value is nearest

D) Mantis_Shortest Tour, attempts to find an ordering of points that minimizes the total distance on a tour that visits all of these points once

E) 2 Components for creating 3d Polyhedra objects + Unfolding these objects into planar surfaces.

I would like to express my great thanks to my friends [UTO] Ursula Frickand Thomas Grabner http://utos.blogspot.com/ who helped me through discussions and encouraged me in scripting with C#.

    Hi, is there a way to manipulate Mantis_shortest tour, to be able to choose the start point and a kind of "tentative direction"?... THNX in advance...
