Detailed Description

Class that holds different connection group types, covering the different connection topologies that are possible. The topology defines how the connections will be arranged.

Two types of connection types are defined within this file:

>> Intra layer connection types apply to neurons that are connecting to other neurons in the same layer. >> Inter layer connection types apply to neurons that are connecting to other neurons in different layers.

The specification of the type includes an identifier, description and list of parameters with their default values. The methods implmenting these connections can be found in "ConnectionManager.cpp" There are also dependent methods in "ConnectionPropertiesDialog.cpp" which use the type to check the size of the layers to see if they match before creating the connection. Any changes to this file should be reflected there as well.

The parameters should all be doubles between -100000 and 100000. This makes error checkeing easier, but can be changed if necessary. FIXME SHOULD REALLY ADD A THIRD TYPE CALLED 'OTHER' THAT CAN BE APPLIED WITHIN AND BETWEEN LAYERS OR BOTH.

unsigned short * ConnectionType::getAllTypes (   )  [static]
 

Returns an array containing all of the type values. NOTE Potential memory leaks here since a reference is being returned to a dynamically allocated array.
