PARTS OF THE MODEL:
Components
Components are patterns shown on certain parts of the
body by chromatophore expansion and can be divided into
stripes, bars, dots, and splotches.

● Stripes extend maximally along the longitudinal
body axis. |
![](squidmodel/parts_of_the_model/images/components/squidmodel_components_bars.jpg) |
● Bars have a greater extent perpendicular to the
longitudinal body axis than parallel to it. |
![](squidmodel/parts_of_the_model/images/components/squidmodel_components_dots.jpg) |
● Dots have a relatively regular outline with
approximately equal extents in both dimensions. |
![](squidmodel/parts_of_the_model/images/components/squidmodel_components_sploches.jpg) |
● Splotches have the same relative extents as dots
but with irregular outlines (e.g. in Zebra and
Mottle patterns). |
