# Flocking Controller

| Parameter    | Type             | Description                                                                                                                                   |
| ------------ | ---------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Major Radius | Decimal (Meters) | The radius of the circle formed by the centers of the torus’s circular cross-section.                                                         |
| Tube Radius  | Decimal          | The distance from the center of the torus’s tube to the surface of the tube.                                                                  |
| Offset       | Decimal          | The location of the center of the torus in the X, Y, or Z direction relative to its anchor point.                                             |
| Grid Mode    |                  | <p>Simple - Square placement<br><br>Stagger - Each row is offset by half the horizontal distance between points in an alternating pattern</p> |
| Stagger Axis |                  | <p>Rows - The torus is filled horizontally.<br><br>Columns - The torus is filled vertically</p>                                               |
