====== RoCoCau ======
{{:soft:rococau:logoRoCoCau1.png?200|center}}\\
RoCoCau (for **Ro**ot, **Co**llar, **Cau**linear) is the result of the concatenation of [[soft:amapsim:|AmapSim]] and [[soft:digr:|DigR]].
The result is a simulator that is able to grow both root and shoot systems at the same time.\\ \\
It is a pure structural simulator with a real botanistic accuracy.\\
Since it is hosted in the same software environment as AmapSim, it inherits every features including output formats and plugin mechanism ([[soft:amapsim:c_tools:d_plug-ins:start|Plug-ins]]). \\
To create a new species into RoCoCau, you will have to parametrize both aerial and underground parts using AmapSim and DigR environments.\\
\\ RoCoCau is embeded into the [[soft:vitis:|vitis]] environment.\\ \\
The running syntax of RoCoCau is then :\\
        gaspcp aerial root age [seed] [-sGeomSimplification] [-STopoSimplification [-deltaDelta]] [-g[step]] [-gl[step]] [-a[step]] [-oOutputFileName] [-cModule [-eModuleData]] [[-fsstep] -foCustomOutputFormat]
with
        aerial : name of the aerial part of the plant (if single name, .cfg file will be used for parameter file location)
        root : name of the root part of the plant (if single name, .cfg file will be used for parameter file location)
        age : age to be computed
        seed : random number initialisation number
        -s : GeomSimplification is the simplification level on geometrical output (from 0 to 4)
        -S : TopoSimplification is the simplification level on topological computing (from 0 to 3)
        -delta : birth date threshold to build simplified classes
        step : output step (only at simulation end by default)
        -o : output to a particular OutputFileName file (without extension), this MUST be a complete path/filename
        -g : output linetree format
        -gl : output opf format
        -a : output mtg format
        -n : output natFX format
        -c : dynamicaly link the module file Module to the simulation kernel
        -e : provide the current Module with ModuleData as private data configuration file
        -swap : change bytes output order (switch between little and big endian
        -fs : custom output step
        -fo : load a custom output format module
        -posx : the x world position of this plant (cm)
        -posy : the y world position of this plant (cm)
        -posz : the z world position of this plant (cm)
        -begin : the absolute beginning time for growth simulation
or    : 
        gaspcp Scene
with
        Scene : a text file describing a scene which means that each line consists in a single plant simulation command
