AxonPacking algorithm (A). Overall procedure for disk packing algorithm. (B) Histogram distribution of disk diameter. In this example, N = 1000 diameters are simulated, and the desire Gamma distribution of disks diameter is μ = 3 μm and σ² = 1 μm (red curve). Our implementation of the Hasting Metropolis algorithm generate disks diameter (blue histogram) that correctly match this distribution. (C) Initialization of the disks randomly chosen on a grid. The area A_tot defines the area where the density FVF is computed (used to control the convergence of AxonPacking). (D) Migration of the disks toward the center. (E) Final packing where all the statistics are computed. (F,G). Graphical illustration of the attraction velocity that operates for every non-overlapping disks (F) and the repulsion velocity for the overlapping ones (G).
