Rule support

LifeViewer supports the following rule families:

Built-in rules

2-state Margolus rules.
2-state outer-totalistic Life-like cellular automata (from ranges 1 to 500, supporting a wide variety of pre-programmed neighbourhood families, as well as custom neighbourhoods and weighted neighbourhoods).
2-state isotropic non-totalistic cellular automata (for range-1 Moore and range-1 hexagonal).
2-state non-isotropic cellular automata (for range-1 Moore, hexagonal and von Neumann).
Generations rules (as an extension of the outer-totalistic, non-totalistic and non-isotropic rulespaces).
Alternating rules.
Partitioned cellular automata (PCA) rules.
Elementary cellular automata.
[R]History rules.
[R]Super rules.
[R]Investigator rules (a generalisation of StateInvestigator).
RuleTable rules (either inline or from a Rule Repository).
Non-deterministic rules.

Native support for BSFKL, Extended Generations and deficient rules is also planned.^[1]^[2]^[3] Support for 1D totalistic rules and multiple neighbourhoods rules may also be planned.^[4]^[5]

Repository Rules

LifeViewer can load rules from the Rule: namespace here on LifeWiki. The rules must be in RuleTable format. LifeViewer supports both @TABLE and @TREE format rules. Typically @TREE rules run much faster so if possible ensure there is an @TREE version of the rule before the @TABLE version (if present).

Inline Rules

If LifeViewer does not recognize the rule specified in the pattern header then it will first search the pattern comments after the pattern to see if there is an inline rule definition. This must be in RuleTable format. If there is no inline rule then it will attempt to retrieve the rule from the Rule Repository.

Aliases

LifeViewer contains a large list of alias names for particular rules. This list of rule name aliases can be found by clicking the Aliases button under Help.

Grid and neighbourhood support

LifeViewer supports many different neighbourhoods on square, hexagonal or triangular grids.

Click on "Expand" to the right to view the full list of supported neighbourhoods per grid type.

Bounded grid types

LifeViewer supports patterns on "unbounded" grids (maximum 16384x16384 in size) and the following bounded grid types:

Plane
Cylinder (with optional shift)
Torus (with optional shift)
Klein-bottle (with optional shift)
Cross-surface
Sphere (either diagonal)

For range 2+ neighbourhoods, hexagonal, triangular, PCA and Margolus rules only Plane and Torus (without shift) are supported.

User Interface

Main article: LifeViewer/User Interface

Themes

Themes are used to define the colours of cells, the background and the grid lines for 2-state and Generations patterns. Some Themes also specify whether major grid lines are used and if so on what interval.

Themes are primarily used to provide a visual representation of cell history and longevity.

The default Theme is "Blues" but this can be changed by clicking Theme in the Settings menu or with the THEME script command.

x=3, y = 3, rule = Life
3o$2bo$bo!
[[ AUTOSTART THUMBNAIL GRID STOP 128 ZOOM 8 X 32 Y -31 HEIGHT 560 ]]

Grid

Some Themes define specific GridLine colours for standard and Major GridLines and also the major GridLine interval.

GRID: grid line colour
GRIDMAJOR: major grid line colour and interval

Two-state Themes

For two-state Themes there are five colours that are used for defining the cell colours:

Key	Description
BACKGROUND	cell never occupied
ALIVE	cell just born
ALIVERAMP	cell alive for at least AGESTATES generations (default 63)
DEAD	cell just died
DEADRAMP	cell dead for at least HISTORYSTATES generations (default 63)

New cells are drawn in the ALIVE colour.

If cells stay alive they fade from the ALIVE colour to the ALIVERAMP colour over the next AGESTATES (default 63) generations. This provides a visual representation of cell longevity.

Cells are drawn in the DEAD colour when they die.

If they stay dead they fade from the DEAD colour to the DEADRAMP colour over the next HISTORYSTATES (default 63) generations. This provides a visual representation of cell history.

Click on "Expand" to the right to see the definitions of the available two-state Themes.

Multi-state Themes

Multi-state Themes are used for Generations rules and there are six colours that are used for defining the cell colours:

Key	Description
BACKGROUND	cell never occupied
ALIVE	cell alive
DYING	cell just started dying
DYINGRAMP	cell about to die
DEAD	cell just died
DEADRAMP	cell dead for at least HISTORYSTATES generations (default 63)

New cells are drawn in the ALIVE colour.

Cells are drawn in the DYING colour when they start to die. They then fade to the DYINGRAMP colour over the number of generations defined in the rule.

Once cells reach the DYINGRAMP colour then on the next generation they die and become the DEAD colour.

If they stay dead they fade from the DEAD colour to the DEADRAMP colour over the next HISTORYSTATES (default 63) generations. This provides a visual representation of cell history.

Click on "Expand" to the right to see the definitions of the available multi-state Themes.

+=== Repository Rules ===
+LifeViewer can load rules from the [https://conwaylife.com/wiki/Special:AllPages?namespace=3794 Rule:] namespace here on LifeWiki.
+The rules must be in [http://golly.sourceforge.net/Help/formats.html#rule RuleTable] format. LifeViewer supports both @TABLE and @TREE
+format rules. Typically @TREE rules run much faster so if possible ensure there is an @TREE version of the rule before the @TABLE
+version (if present).
+=== Inline Rules ===
+If LifeViewer does not recognize the rule specified in the pattern header then it will first search the pattern comments after the pattern to see
+if there is an inline rule definition. This must be in [http://golly.sourceforge.net/Help/formats.html#rule RuleTable] format. If there is no inline

+LifeViewer contains a large list of alias names for particular rules. This list of rule name aliases can be found by clicking the Aliases button under Help.
+== Grid and neighbourhood support ==
+LifeViewer supports many different neighbourhoods on square, hexagonal or triangular grids.

+=== [[Bounded grid]] types ===
+LifeViewer supports patterns on "unbounded" grids (maximum 16384x16384 in size) and the following bounded grid types:
 * Plane
 * Cylinder (with optional shift)

-Native support for [[BSFKL]], [[Extended Generations]] and [[deficient]] rules is also planned.<ref name="post68678" /><ref name="post68691" /><ref name="post86409" /> Support for 1D totalistic rules may also be planned.<ref name="post84188" />
+== Themes ==
+Themes are used to define the colours of cells, the background and the grid lines for 2-state and Generations patterns. Some Themes also specify whether major grid lines are used and if so on what interval.
-===Aliases===
+Themes are primarily used to provide a visual representation of cell history and longevity.
-The current list of rule name aliases can be found by clicking the Aliases button under Help.
-==Keyboard commands==
+The default Theme is "Blues"
+but this can be changed by clicking Theme in the Settings menu or with the THEME script command.
-A visual map of keyboard shortcuts is shown below:
+{{LV:Viewer|x = 3, y = 3, rule = Life

+[[ AUTOSTART THUMBNAIL GRID STOP 128 ZOOM 8 X 32 Y -31 HEIGHT 560 ]]}}
-[[File:hotkeys.png|1024px]]
+=== Grid ===
+Some Themes define specific GridLine colours for standard and Major GridLines and also the major GridLine interval.

+=== Multi-state Themes ===
+Multi-state Themes are used for Generations rules and there are six colours that are used for defining the cell colours:
+<table border=1 cellspacing=0 width=500><tr>
+<td bgcolor=#c0c0c0>Key</td><td bgcolor=#c0c0c0>Description</td></tr><tr>
+<td>BACKGROUND</td><td>cell never occupied</td></tr><tr>
+<td>ALIVE</td><td>cell alive</td></tr><tr>
+<td>DYING</td><td>cell just started dying</td></tr>
+<td>DYINGRAMP</td><td>cell about to die</td></tr>
+<td>DEAD</td><td>cell just died</td></tr>
+<td>DEADRAMP</td><td>cell dead for at least HISTORYSTATES generations (default 63)</td></tr>
+</table>
+New cells are drawn in the ALIVE colour.
-===Multi-state Themes===
+Cells are drawn in the DYING colour when they start to die. They then fade to the DYINGRAMP colour over the number of generations defined in the rule.
-BACKGROUND: cell never occupied<br />
-ALIVE: cell alive<br />
-DYING: cell just starting dying<br />
-DYINGRAMP: cell about to die<br />
-DEAD: cell just died<br />
-DEADRAMP: cell dead for several generations
-Rule defines states from DYING to DYINGRAMP<br />
+Once cells reach the DYINGRAMP colour then on the next generation they die and become the DEAD colour.
-(HISTORYSTATES) states from DEAD to DEADRAMP
+If they stay dead they fade from the DEAD colour to the DEADRAMP colour over the next HISTORYSTATES (default 63) generations. This provides a visual representation of cell history.
+<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">

-==Scripts==
+== Pattern Identification ==
-Scripts must be embedded in pattern comments.  Commands must be surrounded by whitespace.
+LifeViewer is able to identify [[spaceships]], [[oscillators]] and [[still-life]] patterns. For oscillators it can display a table and graphical [[map]] of periods and frequencies per cell.
-For example loading the following pattern into LifeViewer will start playback automatically (AUTOSTART) and then stop at generation 30 (STOP 30).
+[[File:Identify-results.png]]
- <nowiki>
+[[File:Identify-table.png]]
- #C [[ AUTOSTART STOP 30 ]]
- x = 3, y = 3, rule = Life
- o$
- obo$
-o!
- </nowiki>
-It's also valid to have script commands after the RLE since this is also treated as comments.
+[[File:Identify-map.png]]
- <nowiki>
- x = 3, y = 3, rule = Life
- o$
- obo$
-o!
- [[
-   ANGLE 30
-   GPS 5
-   AUTOSTART
-   THEME Fire
- ]]
- </nowiki>
-<nowiki>
+== Scripts ==
-Only text surrounded by [[ and ]] is interpreted as script commands.
+{{main|LifeViewer/Scripts}}
-</nowiki>
+LifeViewer supports a large number of script commands than can be used to control playback, the camera, labels and annotations, colours and many other aspects.
- <nowiki>
- #C An example [[ ZOOM 16 ]] with camera settings [[ X -4 Y 5 ]]
- #C and [[ GRID ]] grid lines.
