Submodels: Training patterns should inherit settings from generator sheets #592

Open jlstevens opened 9 years ago

jlstevens commented 9 years ago

Currently, the density and bounds of training patterns generated by the submodel system default to those of Imagen pattern generators. If both sheets and training patterns are specified on a ModelSpec it would be good to have the training patterns inherit the appropriate values from the sheet parameters. For instance, in a GCAL model you could transfer the nominal density across manually as follows:

nominal_density = gcal.sheets.RightRetina.parameters['nominal_density']
topo.sim.specification.training_patterns.RightRetina.xdensity = nominal_density 
topo.sim.specification.training_patterns.RightRetina.ydensity = nominal_density

It would be good to have an automatic mechanism to achieve this.
