[Pcsim-users] Question about ConnectionsProjection

[Mathieu D. <mat...@li...>]

Hello PCSIMers,

Sorry to bother you again but I was wondering why ConnectionsProjection 
doesn't inherit from SimObjectPopulation?

I ask the question because I often want to create recorders for a whole 
ConnectionsProjection (for instance to record the psr). With a 
SimObjectPopulation, it's easy: the record method is here for that. But 
AFAIK there is no equivalent method in ConnectionsProjection. So I often 
have to create a population from a ConnectionsProjection with something 
like syn_popul = SimObjectPopulation( proj.idVector() ).

Also why ConnectionsProjection doesn't store information about the 
source and destination populations? Therefore we could write something 
like proj.getSourcePopulation (which again could be useful in my case).

I don't criticize PCSIM's API, it's wonderful. I was just asking the 
question. Maybe I am missing something?

Thanks,
Mathieu
