From p.gleeson at ucl.ac.uk Mon Dec 2 16:06:36 2013 From: p.gleeson at ucl.ac.uk (Padraig Gleeson) Date: Mon, 2 Dec 2013 16:06:36 +0000 Subject: [neuroConstruct] neuroConstruct simulation replay In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <529CB00C.9090703@ucl.ac.uk> Hi Christoph, Unfortunately there's no in built movie making facility in neuroConstruct, and none is planned. The easiest thing is to take a screen capture of the GUI as you're replaying the simulation. If you use Windows try http://camstudio.org/. Otherwise if you're on Linux, I've not used one recently, but try googling it and you should get a few suggestions: e.g. http://linuxappfinder.com/graphics/screencapture or http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/1229. Istanbul looks like a good one. not sure if these will work on mac; there may be a native application to let you screen capture... If you're feeling adventurous, and want some high resolution images/movies, try playing with the code here: http://sourceforge.net/p/neuroml/code/HEAD/tree/NeuroML2POVRay. This can be used to generate high res images from NeuroML network descriptions, by converting to POVRay. There is also a script, ReadSim.py, which allows a neuroConstruct simulation to be loaded & images generated for every time step, which can be made into a movie of the simulation (e.g. using avidemux on Linux). Not looked at this code in a while though...
