simulate_moving_circles: Simulate Moving Circles Pattern

Description

Generate patterns of two circles moving toward each other horizontally. Creates mutually exclusive signals where overlapping pixels are assigned to signal_1 (circle 1). The circles start at fixed horizontal distances from the midline and move toward the center.

Usage

simulate_moving_circles(
  grid_size = 60,
  radius_seq = 6:14,
  n_steps = 10,
  center_distance = 30,
  radius2_factor = 1.5,
  seed = NULL,
  verbose = TRUE
)

Value

List of data frames, each containing X, Y coordinates and signal_1, signal_2 binary signals

Arguments

grid_size

Size of the spatial grid (default: 60)

radius_seq

Vector of radii for circle 1 (default: 6:14)

n_steps

Number of movement steps (default: 10)

center_distance

Initial horizontal distance from midline for both centers (default: 30)

radius2_factor

Circle 2 radius = radius_seq * radius2_factor (default: 1.5)

seed

Random seed for reproducibility (default: 123)

verbose

Logical; if TRUE, show progress bar and messages (default: TRUE)

Examples

# \donttest{
# Generate moving circles patterns with default parameters
patterns <- simulate_moving_circles()

# Custom parameters
patterns <- simulate_moving_circles(
  grid_size = 80,
  radius_seq = c(8, 12, 16),
  n_steps = 8,
  center_distance = 35,
  radius2_factor = 1.2
)
