Motivation

Modeling is a basic task of modern plant eco-physiology. A 3D sketch of a plant is a good starting point to understanding and modeling purposes. Plant Toon has been designed to be a standalone VB program to sketch and play with a plant, allowing to edit and manage plant partrs and their parameters, and simulate growth and development under different environments.

Technology

The whole program has been coded in VB6 undere MS Windows from scratch. It is based on a touch-screen compatible user interface and is an interface with a arm-digitizer

Problems

Difficult to be runned on Windows NT, 7, 8.x - Plant grow parameterisation largely incomplete
