Constructor & Destructor Documentation

colony::colony (  double *    coordinates, int    index )

Creates a colony with a default number (5) of ants. Parameters: coordinates  A 9-double array containing the x1,y1,z1, ..., xk,yk,zk coordinates of the 3 points describing the portion triangle index  The portion (unique) index
