Handling

User Interface GeZA for Android

After starting GeZA a cellular automaton is be displayed. With wiping gestures (look table below) you can initiate additional functions.

wipe gesture	function
short touch	start/stop animation
bottom up	compute and show the next generations
top down	shows the first generations, if it's already the first, then the initial start (only 1 cell of state 1) is used
right to left slowly	shows a new random, symmetric initial generation
right to left fast	shift display to the left (half display size)
left to right slowly	shows a new random, non symmetric initial generation
left to right fast	shift display to the right (half display size)

In addition to the wipe gestures there are more functions choosable in the drop down menu and icons in the title bar.

Depending of the physical display size, there are not displayed all icons in the titlebar, then these functions are choosable via the drop down menue

menu item	Icon	function
zoom in		zoom in for more details.
zoom out		zoom out for better overview.
Examples		shows a list of all examples. Touching an icon starts the related automaton.
options		going to a dialog to change settings in current context.
set colors		changing colors for the different cell states.
