Input and Output

species_count_export_period (type: non-negative integer, range: any)

Specifies the period (expressed as a number of time slice sweeps) between successive outputs to the file concentrations.dat.

species_count_threshold_for_recording (type: non-negative integer, range: any)

Specifies the minimum number of individuals of a given species (genotype) that must coexist in the population before information about that species is written to the file species_current.dat.

max_output_file_size (type: non-negative integer, range: any)

Specifies the maximum size (in number of bytes) of output files. When an output file exceeds this threshold it is closed and compressed, and a new file (with a different extension) is opened for writing. See Section A.5.

morgue_record_period (type: non-negative integer, range: any)

Specifies the expected number of deaths of eligible organisms between successive recordings of information about the death of an eligible organism (i.e. an organism of a genotype that has already been recorded in the file species_current.dat) into the file morgue.dat.

backup_period (type: non-negative integer, range: any)

Specifies the period (expressed as a number of time slice sweeps) between successive backups of the run being written to the file autosave.ser.

record_neutral_model_data (type: boolean, range: {yes,no})

Specifies whether data for the run is to be written to the file neutral.dat for subsequent playback as a neutral model. See also run_neutral_model.

neutral_model_data_export_period (type: non-negative integer, range: any)

Specifies the period (expressed as a number of time slice sweeps) between successive recordings of information to the file neutral.dat. Only relevant if the parameter record_neutral_model_data is set to yes.

group_zero_length_genotypes (type: boolean, range: {yes,no})

Specifies whether all organisms of zero length are to be regarded as belonging to the same genotype (i.e. 0AAAA) for the purposes of data collection and analysis.

visualisation_recording_on (type: boolean, range: {yes,no})

Specifies whether visualisation output files (`movie' files) are to be recorded for the run.

visualisation_record_energy_only (type: boolean, range: {yes,no})

Specifies whether only the energy-related visualisation files will be recorded, or whether they all will be. This is only relevant if visualisation_recording_on is set to yes.

visualisation_intersample_period (type: non-negative integer, range: any)

Specifies the period (expressed as a number of time slice sweeps) between the beginning of recording of successive samples of the visualisation data. This is only relevant if the parameter visualisation_recording_on is set to yes.

visualisation_intrasample_period (type: non-negative integer, range: any)

Specifies the period (expressed as a number of time slice sweeps) between successive recording of visualisation data within a single sample period. This is only relevant if the parameter visualisation_recording_on is set to yes.

visualisation_sample_size (type: non-negative integer, range: any)

Specifies the number of data points (i.e. the number of recorded time slices) for each sample in the visualisation data. This is only relevant if the parameter visualisation_recording_on is set to yes.
