Atoms has several layout modules but you can create new modules with c++. This example show how create a layout module that generate agents along a input curve.
This example is composed by two part, the layout generator that creates the agents and a behaviour module that creates the layout generator and attach it to the agent group
Writing the curve layout generator
The layout generator object generate the description of new agents created at every frame. A generator can be static or dynamic. A static generator creates the agents description only at the first frame, while a dynamic one can generate new agents at every frame. In this example our generator is static, since the agents are created only at the first frame along the cuve. If you want create a dynamic generator just use the setAsStaticgenerator(false) function inside the constructor.
The generate function creates a vector of AgentInitData objects. This object define the position, direction, agent type, groupId of the new agents. The agent group use this information to create new agents.

Writing the curve layout modules
To use the curve layout generator a new behaviour modules is used. This behaviour module expose the generator attributes to the user and pass all the data to the generator itself and at the end it adds the generator to the agent group.
