9 Output and Visualization options

Output.TextInterval

This option controls if any and how much text output (status information) is displayed on the screen during an optimization. A value of 0 switches text output off, a value of 1 displays information every generation (one line per generation) and higher values display information only every defined generation.

Output.GrafikInterval

This option controls if any and how often graphical output is presented on the screen during an optimization. The definition of the interval is similar to Output.TextInterval.

Output.GrafikMethod

This option sets the employed methods for graphical output (here called plot mask - which graphics are plotted on screen). You may select none, one or multiple of the available methods (data sets). An overview of the available graphics/visualization methods is given under Output.GrafikStyle. Please look at the extensive examples in Section ??? (to be written).

Output.GrafikStyle

This option determines the style of the plot of each data type/method.

Output.SaveTextInterval

This option controls if any and how much text output (status information) is saved into a text file during an optimization. The definition of the interval is similar to Output.TextInterval. The saved information is extended compared to the status information on screen (variables of the best individual are added).

Output.SaveTextFileName

This option contains the file name to save text output. An optional relative or absolute path may be added (employing Matlab conventions). If no path is defined, the current working directory is used.

Output.SaveBinDataInterval

This option controls if any and how often binary data is saved into a binary (mat) file during an optimization. The definition of the interval is identical to Output.TextInterval. The saved information contains all data from the current generation and some data regarding the entire run.

Output.SaveBinDataFileName

This option contains the file name to save binary result data (the saved data are the same as used for the visualization with resplot). An optional relative or absolute path may be added (employing Matlab conventions). If no path is defined, the current working directory is used.

Output.StatePlotInterval

This option controls if any and how often the special problem specific visualization function is called during an optimization. This special visualization function is called state plot function. The definition of the interval is identical to Output.TextInterval.

Output.StatePlotFunction

This option contains the function name of the special problem specific visualization function.

Output.TextExclude* and Output.SaveTextExclude*

A number of options exist to define, which text information should be written on screen and saved to the result file. These options are very seldom used/changed. The handling of the text output is done in the function gearunstatus.
