Fig. 2: spaSim simulator of spatial data from tissues.
From: Spatial analysis with SPIAT and spaSim to characterize and simulate tissue microenvironments
a Steps in simulation. After simulating the background cells, the rest of the steps are optional and can be mixed and matched as desired. b Examples of patterns in prostate cancer tissue images, shown as composite microscopy images and after computer-rendering by SPIAT, followed by the simulation of the observed spatial patterns using spaSim. spaSim allows the simulation of the main tumor and immune patterns found in tumor tissues. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
