Age definition

[JBird]

Hi,

I am confused with the age definition in the API Documentation. There seems to be an inconsistency. Which should I use if I want to manually change the age through a plugin with setAge()?

human.setAge(self, age)
Sets the age of the model. 0 if 12 years old, 1 is 70. To set a particular age in years, use the formula age_value = (age_in_years - 12) / (70 - 12).

While in the source code of guimacromodelling

Code: Select all

def syncStatus(self):
...
   if human.getAge() < 0.5:
      age = 12 + ((25 - 12) * 2) * human.getAge()
   else:
      age = 25 + ((70 - 25) * 2) * (human.getAge() - 0.5)

That is because there are 3 models, 12 - 25 - 70 so the code needs to take this into account. Also the input was changed to [-1, 1], -1 gives 12, 0 gives 25, while 1 gives 70, any value in between gives an interpolation.

So for setAge(), I use the 12-25-70 interpolation instead of the 12-70 interpolation?

There is no 12 -70 interpolation. You alsways interpolate from 12 -25 and from 25 - 70.

Ok, what I meant was that the API documentation of setAge() says to interpolate between 12 and 70 (see below) but this is not correct.

API documentation of human.setAge():

age_value = (age_in_years - 12) / (70 - 12)

Thank you very much for the fast replies and keep up the awesome work!

Yes, the documentation is quite out of sync with the code.
