cell

Module nuspace.shapes.cell.

Cell: a program, the irreducible thing a space holds, on exactly one plane.

Cell

A program. Structure only.

Path nuspace.shapes.Cell.

prog is python source whose entry point returns a Nu tree. version counts its writes: every cell run records the version it ran, so a live one running an older prog is told apart without reading source. A cell carries no run info: runs, their output and their errors live under Space.kernel.

plane is the id of the one plane it is on, the back pointer of that plane's cells. The two are written together, in one commit, and never disagree. A cell is addressed by its own id alone: ids are unique across the space.

Its state is not here: it lives in the state store, at States.cells[c] (states).

props is what nuspace reads to work (CellProps). meta is free, for anything else.

Slots

Undocumented: example.

CellProps

What nuspace itself reads off a cell to work. Typed, unlike meta.

Path nuspace.shapes.CellProps.

made_by names the snippet the cell was made from ("" for none). A cell without one is not of any snippet's type.

has_ui says whether the cell's program draws: its constructed tree holds a ui ref. Worked out whenever the prog is written, never by hand.
