Creates lists of object location for image simulation. These lists are usually fed in to RealizeObjects to actually draw the objects onto the image.

There are two placement modes: Grid and Random. In Grid mode, galaxies are placed on an rectangular grid with the specified spacing. In Random mode, the specified number of galaxies and stars are placed at random locations on image. In either mode, it's possible to create an empty region along the border of the image.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
Seed	int	If set, use to seed the random number generator. If not set, a random seed will be used.
PlacementMode	string	"Random" or "Grid". Sets the mode as described above.
NumberStars	int	In random mode, number of stars to place in image.
NumberGalaxies	int	In random mode, number of galaxies to place in image.
GridSpacing	int	In grid mode, sets the size of the galaxy grid in units of pixels.
BorderSize	int	If set, no objects will be placed within this number of pixels from the edge of the image.

Inputs

Name	Type	Description
Image/Width	int	Pixel width of the image.
Image/Height	int	Pixel height of the image.

Outputs

Name	Type	Description
Image/ObjectX	double*	Array of x-coordinates of objects, in pixel units.
Image/ObjectY	double*	Array of y-coordinates of objects, in pixel units.
Image/ObjectTypes	int*	Array of types of objects, as specified in SimConst.h
Image/NumberObjs	int	Number of objects placed in image. This will be the length of the above arrays.
