How to use this program
- Select the Heuristics and Environments you want to
run on the lists to the left (you can select multiple
entries by dragging the mouse over them).
Each selected Heuristic (on the top list) will be tested on
every selected Environment on the bottom list.
You can also add your own environments to the list by
setting up a file that describes your environment in a
similar way as ours do. A
description of the format
of our environments is in the
environments directory.
- Set values for the training set size, the
number of tests and the knowledge level to be used.
(These values also can be dragged with the mouse.)
- Start the simulation. You can interrupt or pause the
calculation at any time.
- The "Display Update" value sets the time in seconds between redraws
and can be changed during the run.
- An approximation for the remaining time is displayed on the
bottom line.
- When the simulation is finished, a window will show up
with a list of the results.

Reading the data plots:
There will be as many plots as environments are tested.
The plots show two columns for each tested heuristic. The left one is the
training result, the right (darker) one is the value for
testing. The colours are those indicated on the heuristics
list. An errorbar shows the standard deviation of the test
results.
- To enlarge a specific area press the left mouse
button and drag to the right and down. A rectangle shows
the area that will be enlarged. Cancel an already begun action
by dragging only up or only left. You get back to the full
view by dragging to the left and up.
- Drag with the right button pressed to move the area.
- Drag with the middle button pressed to zoom about the
center. (If your mouse has less than three mousebuttons
try using the 'Alt' or 'Ctrl' key.)
- Just doing a click with the left button will open a
box that shows the coordinates of the
data points that are nearest to the mouse pointer. You
can drag that box around. Clicking once
again will disable this display.
