Cell draws an animal or a plant cell (kind: CellKind::Animal or Plant), size pixels from its centre to its side. From delay its organelles appear one every stagger seconds in the order given; an empty list shows all of the kind’s (Organelle::of(kind)): the membrane, nucleus and nucleolus, rough ER, Golgi apparatus, mitochondria, lysosomes and free ribosomes of an animal cell, and the cell wall, central vacuole and chloroplasts of a plant cell as well. Each part fades in and grows into place; the membrane and the wall draw their outline first. With labels a leader line then draws from each part to its name. The free ribosomes are placed from seed, the colours come from palette (CellPalette). Gallery scenes: Cell (an animal cell) and PlantCell.

API

Components are plain structs. Set the fields you need and fill the rest with ..ui.defaults(): the defaults below come from the current theme (theme. values are fields of Theme).

Cell

Field	Type	Default	Description
`kind`	`CellKind`	`CellKind::Animal`	Animal or plant cell: picks which organelles exist and the cell outline (rounded blob or walled rectangle).
`organelles`	`Vec<Organelle>`	`Vec::new()`	Organelles to show, in the order they appear; empty shows all of `kind`’s (`Organelle::of`).
`delay`	`f32`	`0.0`	Seconds after the container’s start before the first organelle appears.
`stagger`	`f32`	`0.5`	Seconds between one organelle starting to appear and the next.
`center`	`(f64, f64)`	`(0.0, 0.0)`	The middle of the cell, in units of `ui.space`.
`size`	`f32`	`330.0`	Pixels from the cell’s centre to its side (half the width).
`labels`	`bool`	`true`	Draws a leader line and name for each organelle when `true`; `false` for the bare cell.
`seed`	`u64`	`7`	Seed for the random placement of the free ribosomes; the same seed gives the same dots.
`palette`	`CellPalette`	`CellPalette::default()`	Colours of the cytoplasm, membrane and each organelle.
`leader_color`	`Color`	`theme.colors.muted`	Colour of the leader lines.
`label_color`	`Color`	`theme.colors.text`	Colour of the organelle names.
`label_style`	`TextStyle`	`theme.typography.caption`	The font of the organelle names: family, size in pixels and weight.
`enter`	`Option<FadeIn>`	`None`	Fade in at the start; `None` for none.
`exit`	`Option<FadeOut>`	`None`	Fade out before the end; `None` for none.
