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.
	● Bars have a greater extent perpendicular to the longitudinal body axis than parallel to it.
	● Dots have a relatively regular outline with approximately equal extents in both dimensions.
	● Splotches have the same relative extents as dots but with irregular outlines (e.g. in Zebra and Mottle patterns).
