Still holding the mouse button down, select the settlement procedure you want, then let go of the mouse button. A list of all the settlement procedures and what they do is given in Section 3 of this manual. After selecting the settlement procedure you want, you will need to set its parameters. To set the parameters for the settlement procedure, click on the 'Settlement Params' button. A new dialog box will appear, showing all the parameters for that settlement procedure.
Parameters can be one of several types.
They can be a number, they can be a single species or a single habitat, they can be a list of species or a list of habitats, or they can be an individual parameter of a species. Number parameters will have a box where you can type in the number you want. Single species or single habitat parameters will have a pop-up menu where you can select from all the available species or habitats, respectively. Parameters which are lists of species or habitats will have a button labelled with the name of the parameter. When you click on this button, a new dialog box will appear where you can check or uncheck the names of all the species or habitats, respectively.
